Hi, the provider actually provided a lot of thorough information and then because my son is a teen, was able to connect and relay how important what he needed to do and then even about the upcoming tests and procedures. So this was one of the best doctor's appointments I've ever been in because she was able to connect with the parent, me, and then connect with my son and allow him to see it from a medical standpoint but also like in real life. Like these things are important. So I really appreciated her bringing in her medical experience as well as her experience just with patients and parenting and with a teen. And so this was, it was phenomenal. It was phenomenal. And I appreciate it because my son has been to different specialists and this is a piece of the puzzle that she is willing to continue to work to see what's going on.
