Dr. Boltax didn't seem to be concerned with the new and continuing symptoms I have been having. He just kept saying that he would just defer to the Infectious Disease Specialist (who I was seeing in an hour) as to how to proceed with the pneumocystis pneumonia. I guess I can understand, but I still needed answers.

Visit was via phone. Felt I got better attention due to nature of this being a 1st visit & not being face-to-face he had to concentrate more on questions/responses than relying on visual cues. Unlike other Drs. Perhaps this is just his nature anyway.

not a bad comment, but I had a little trouble keeping up with the doctor because I was not processing his words as fast as he was speaking them. this is common with me and I felt uncomfortable to tell him that because I know he is busy and didn't want to continually asking him to repeat himself.

I was concerned about the Doctor not having a function testing result before the office visit. The conclusions were not what I expected regarding the "mild" COPD note but I have every confidence in Dr. Boltax being an excellent specialist.
