The Dr listened to why I couldn't afford the med he ordered, He searched many and finally found one that I could afford.
This was my first visit to this doctor and this facility as my previous doctor retired. The doctor had a good detailed account of my pulmonary related history.
This provider is willing to work with me towards my specific goals. He listens understands and is willing to work with me rather than the my way or the highway approach. Every patient is different every occupation is different and we are working while compromising to get to where I as the patient need to be. This in itself is what makes a good healthcare professional. I will be 50 in 2 weeks finding people who listen understand and appreciate my healthcare plan are hard to come by.
