My doctor new my record understood my health history, and most definitely new the medical knowledge pertaining to my challenges of what brought me to the clinic. I was grateful for my appointment and the doctors explainatio of my problem. I left believing that I have a new person that's a part of my care team that I can communicate with through messaging and appointments when necessary but if I adhere to hi recommendations I will get better. But my doctor left me felling encouraged and informed with knowlege. As how to further do my part in caring for my diagnosis. I had an excellent appointment.

He was very thorough and he spent lots of time looking over my medical history on my problem and discussing it with me. His knowledge of all things medical is amazing. He was able to explain my ailment and help me understand what needed to be done to live with it since it could not be treated and would always exist. I've had it for 2 years and my doctors from a different hospital group made it sound like it would go away. At least now I know I have to help myself to learn to live with it. There are ways and I've lost lots of time that could have been used to help myself.
