      Doctor was thorough in her examination. She was under prepared in terms of reading my chart and seemed unwilling to believe my previous diagnosis to the point of putting the diagnosis in quotes in her notes.

      This physician was outstanding! Showed me pictures of my imaging, explained to me what it was and its significance in layman's terms. Spoke with me about treatment options, invited my input. I have some rare and complicated health problems and have sat in the office with Mayo Clinic physicians as well as MD Anderson. I have not sat in the office with any better physician than this one, she is excellent. I felt lucky to have landed on her schedule

      While she explained the procedure she did not explain any follow up care, she did not explain any side effects of what would happen. She did not inform him that he mix experience this that or another. She did not inform him of anything and while I appreciate her succinctness, she did not give very good answers.
