Working with Edan was an absolute pleasure. I reached out to Edan Joy Marketing to help me launch my medical practice. She asked me to write some key points about the practice and information about myself. Voila! Edan wrote an amazing article and was able to get it published in the Chicago Trib! I have had a tremendous influx of patients because of the article and lots of social media buzz. I highly recommend Edan Joy!
