    Kristen was very kind and well prepared. She made time to meet BJ's needs. She spent a lot of time discussion the plan, the process, the possible side effects, the ways we could help to mitigate some of them as well as what to look for. She answered all of our questions, she had the pharmacist come in and review the medications we would be using as well as how to reach her team, how to get the medications and follow up. We left there able to know and understand all options and timing.
