She was incredibly kind, firm, and transparent in her expertise and in her medical evaluation process. She listened to my comprehensive list of symptoms and offered her insights based on those symptoms and previous blood tests. She was able to save me from a skin test by requesting a full allergy panel through bloodwork instead, which I am grateful for. I feel good about her working hypothesis and the next steps she's taking to create a treatment plan.
