This was my first appointment with Dr. Dewitt in person. Since my MS diagnosis, I "played doctor," and looked into a variety of treatments, and brought those to my appointment. She took the time to explain the pros and cons of the treatments, answered my questions and made. She put me at ease explaining the details of the medication I'm taking, and our plan going forward.
