Kristen McFarland is the epitome of the well-educated, uptodate primary care physician that unfortunately is often lacking in our current corporate medical industry. She is thorough in her monitoring of sub specialty MDs and not infrequently picks up conflicting recommendations. She engages with her patient and is caring in her approach.
You are welcome to share this with her. I feel blessed that she is my PCP.
