Synopsis

Having practiced medicine for 20 years, I know how its a subject that can still seem difficult and cold. In my practice, I always loved taking the time to really know my patients, taking the time to listen, taking the time to explain and personalise things. I realised that this kind of conversation could also take place in a new format that I absolutely love: podcasts. Its the chance to share with more and more people while holding onto an intimate, simple format. Im available at lavinia@drionita.com; dont hesitate to write!
