This year was the third time I've re-certified using Leafwell & I love it. They have flexible telemedicine appointment times and dates, and I appreciate how they offer promotions periodically via email and dispensaries for discounted re-certifications. I've seen Dr. Kantha the past two times - she's been prompt, familiar with my chart when she hops on the call, and very kind. The process is always quick and seamless. I usually recommend Leafwell to anyone seeking an initial certification or re-certification.
