I'm in a critical time Where I am working with a second clinic on campus. This requires coordination and a little extra focus. My doctor has been more than responsive and I'm getting additional time and effort. I'm sort of being a squeaky wheel at the moment and everybody's working with me and being very responsive.

This visit did not go well at all. My doctor was rather rude and was not listening to my concerns. I did not feel heard at all. The medication she prescribed is the only one that helps my disorder and yet she wants me all the way off of it. I feel very frustrated with her.

Dr. Thulin is very business oriented. I don't really feel a personal connection between her and the patient. I trust that she has a deep understanding of Parkinson's, but if we were to need serious attention, I worry that the relationship will not be there.
