She also personally called me again later that same afternoon following my appointment after she had reviewed my medical records more thoroughly asking me more questions and then making more recommendations and referral for genetic testing. I really appreciate her willingness and commitment to help me with my medical condition and making me feel like I matter and not just another number that she has as a patient.
