After explaining my symptoms, she immediately had a care plan ready to go, knew the test/labs she would need to solidify how to treat it, and gave me a list of referrals of other specialties to work with from a wholistic view. Within 24 her team has already scheduled my next two appointments. Well worth the wait.
