I felt a little rushed and did not really hit all the marks that I wanted to at this appointment. Did not feel like she particularly cared about anything. Just checking off the boxes. I read my visit summary and it said we discussed diet and exercise. We did not, she asked me how my diet was and she asked me if I exercised. There was no discussion about what I should be doing versus what I was doing. Nothing that was in my note was actually discussed. Honestly most people don’t read those summaries so they wouldn’t know what was “discussed “. She was very nice and I won’t say it was a terrible visit, just wasn’t exactly how I felt it should have gone

She was kind, interested, and took time to explain everything.

Once she got into the exam room she was awesome. I learned through her that my PCP was changing offices and I asked if I could change to her as my new PCP. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

I liked that she ordered necessary tests to look further into past incidents to see if there is any underlying reason as to why they happened.
