While I'm not certain, I suspect Dr. Yenchek is an academic and likely a teaching physician. I had many questions regarding long term stone prevention, primary regarding diet. Dr. Yenchek's responses were calculated (academic), yet honest. I appreciated learning where the science is definitive, but more importantly where the science is "thin".

I think at this point using virtual between me and Dr. Yenchek with an ASL interpreter was more awkward. Next time, if there is a virtual plan for the next appointment. Dr. Yenchek needs to slow down with the discussions. He need to stop and check if I have anything to say.
