  148. they reach more patients globally.
  149. Um, also, I recommend improve transparency.
  150. It would be nice to see customer reviews and experiences
  151. on their website or application.
  152. That way, patients are more inclined to go if they
  153. see that others have had a good experience.
  154. And lastly, it would be nice if they shared their
  155. research on their website at states that they have 25
  156. peer reviewed papers.
