I'm sure glad I met Dr. Derksen! He is always able to give me hope by seeing things from fresh angles. He's professional and approachable which, I've found, don't always go hand in hand.
When you need the kind of help I do, finding someone like this is so precious.

I find Dr. Syras incredibly helpful. He was not only accurate in his diagnosis, but also helpful in applying practical ways to solve my problems. It felt as if I could breathe again after seeing him.... Wonderful sessions! Extremely insightful. He might have a long waiting list but he is well worth it.
