"Hi Dr Rivet !

Thank you so much for your extensive presentation on kidney disease. Through your sharing of your experience and expertise, I feel more confident and prepared to address the questions and concerns of my patients regarding this condition that I see often in my family medicine practice. You delved into all of the most important Naturopathic interventions that we have at our disposal. Your explanation of this complex issue was thorough and easily understood and I am grateful that I took the time to learn even more than I was expecting !"
