“She was understanding and firm without being pushy”
She made my first telemedicine experience easy and I will continue to see her.

“Firefly's Abby Richman is great!”
Firefly is the best Doctor experience ever! It is so easy to schedule. And Abby who is a Nurse Practitioner knows her stuff and always sends followup items as promised. One of the Doctors called me to check in as well! My Husband has signed up and we could not be happier!

“I felt heard and was given all the time and the information I needed!”
She was a great listener who was willing to answer all questions! I didn't feel rushed and she was quick to follow up with me on my needs. 10/10 experience

“Always there for me.”
I was a bit nervous moving to a virtual healthcare platform. Ever since I started with firefly Dr. Nisha Basu and Abby Richmond have consistently been there for me, day or night, and have explained everything in perfect detail. I am a true believer in firefly now.
