    She was very detailed and prescribed me a few different things to get ahead of my illness getting worse. I was miserable and I think it she didn’t get me the meds she did when she did I could have ended up in the hospital! Very thankful!

    The provider, who is the regular that I see with Sesame, always over delivers with her flexible appointment times, attention to detail and nuance in discussing my medical concerns, and always follows through with expedited prescription uploading to my local pharmacy. From my experience with the provider that I chose, She is the reason I have no desire to look for service elsewhere!

    I was admittedly skeptical about the virtual provider system; however, all my reservations disappeared after my first appointment with Samina. She is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and after listening to my concerns and goals, took time to thoroughly explain the treatment options and associated pros and cons. I am excited to embark on my journey toward achieving my weight-loss and overall healthy lifestyle goals! I highly recommend Samina and Sesame.

    Was in for a prescription refill. She refilled the prescription for a 90 day 1 time refill. The original prescription was for 1 year. It feels like she was wanted me to come back again (with charge) to renew the prescription every 90 days. Ridiculous.
