Although the information I received was very technical, they took time to explain it in terms that I could understand. They were reassuring and thoughtful. I was treated as an individual and not a number. When you see hundreds of people a day, I know how hard this can be. They did a great job.

Provider is extremely knowledgeable. However, I suspect a high caseload, makes it difficult for any provider to fully engage. There are not enough hours in the day for the provider to adequately. Meet the needs of every patient. I have been seeing this provider for many years and will continue to do so; I feel sometimes that I am just a cipher and a huge megalopolis that is this medical institution.
