    Dr. English apologized for a delay in time between her arrival and the resident's leaving, explaining the reason for the delay--they were discussing concerns about using steroid injections in light of my glaucoma. I have been diagnosed with glaucoma since 2000 and this is the first time these concerns have been mentioned.

    We discussed a conservative treatment plan, and moved forward.

    Fantastic experience. This team clearly works well together and has the process fine tuned to efficiency and efficacy.
