I’ve been with life stance for a couple years now I think. I’ve had different doctors, but I’ve got to say that Sule Karakas is the best. She is so personable and funny and likable. She doesn’t make you feel like you’re just an imposition. The others have. When I Signed up for my new insurance it was Based around whether they accept Sule or not or she accepted them, vice versa. I absolutely love her.
