I especially liked the way Dr. Callahan went through his reasoning process with me, such as, "If there were (this) symptom, I would think (this) because (explanation of how certain symptoms indicate certain conditions) ...," and he explained exactly how he narrowed down the possibilities to a singular diagnosis. I also liked that he gave me advice of what to look for going forward, such as, "If (this) reoccurs with more frequency, say every week for a continuous length of time, you could see (this type of specialist). And if (this) occurs, you could (do this)." I left feeling very reassured and thinking how blessed I am to receive such excellent care.
