Dr Eskandari came in promptly. He sat at eye level and listened to my concerns. He asked me questions and made me feel more comfortable by his warmth and education he gave me. He addressed some mis information I had previously received. He assured me a test would be done. I felt Dr Mark understood me and my priorities. He spent the right amount of time with me. A huge factor in making me feel cared for was when Dr Mark said "we will make the decision together". I keep hearing this in my head and my anxiety has gone down. He is wonderful.
