Not only were they good at the office visit they have kept in contact through the messaging on my chart & called with answers about blood work that was done. The doc herself called, not an assistant.

While the doctor could not identify the cause or condition, she was able to determine what it was not, which was important. She prescribed a treatment to see if it would be effective.
