“I worked with Mary Rockefeller several weeks ago for pain in connection with rotator cuff and knee injuries. She prescribed for me a DC Medical Marijuana card. I found her to be a diligent practitioner, professional, and empathetic. She was thoroughly familiar with the process with the D.C. government, and followed up with me twice after my office visit to be sure everything was okay. I was very pleased with her professionalism and already have recommended her to a friend.”
