Dr Vanessa Flora, has been very knowledgeable and helpful, when it comes to working with me as a new lymphedema patient. As I've encountered challenges with acquiring sufficient neck garments for my neck lymphedema. Thankfully, Dr Vanessa, continues to incorporate the best remedies to reduce the fluid swelling in my neck area. I definitely appreciate her ongoing efforts regarding my health care. Thank U Dr Vanessa!!!

I saw Vanessa for information and help in managing my lipedema, a condition similar to lymphedema. She shared her expertise--including the latest research on my condition--and was very responsive to my questions and needs. I enjoyed working with her, and would recommend her to others facing similar challenges.

Dr. Flora has been treating my Dad's Lymphedema for a few months now. All he can say about her is "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!". She is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and dedicated to her patients. Her desire to bring Lymphedema education to others is what drives her connection with her patients. After living with Lymphedema for 83+ years, my Dad FINALLY has a trusted partner in his care. Thank you, Thank you Dr. Flora!
