    They listen & then discuss what can be done. They never push anything, just explain what my choices are.

    The lady at the front desk was not welcoming or friendly at all. The lady who took me to my room was great. I had to wait a while for the doc but he apologized and he was good.

    Seeing 3 different doctors in 3.visits (although all seem qualified) with appointments spread over 4 months gives one a sense of frustration at how slowly treatment is emerging.
