    Doctor and I discussed several vaccines I was wondering about. Good advice for each one. She checked my records for other needs like mammogram, and set up schedule request.

      First of all she was extremely rude, I told her I could not do any medications that effect serotonin receptors due to serotonin syndrome but she said that's all she could offer me worst doctor I have ever met, UK should do better.

      Dr. Gottschalk is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She is so patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. She is not one to jump in with a ton of tests or additional medications before we discuss all options. She respects my needs and always listens to my concerns. She is very compassionate!
