As Kinyetta faced one of the scariest moments of her life, the calming presence of Dr. Allison Dupont, a cardiologist at Northside Hospital Gwinnett, gave her the strength to trust and believe in her care.
 
Kinyetta recalls the life-changing moment when Dr. Dupont entered her emergency room, grabbed her hand, and said, "I'm the doctor. You can trust me." This simple yet profound gesture helped Kinyetta feel safe in the hands of one of the best cardiologists in Georgia, as a nurse had previously reassured her, "You are in the best place you can be right now."
