At this visit all of my questions and concerns were addressed. A plan was discussed for the lipase lab and I was directed to contact IU hospital if the result was elevated. A plan was not developed if my RA lab work up was positive but I am confident that Dr. Rau will contact me with a treatment plan if one is needed. Dr. Rau is dedicated to providing good health care and encourages preventive and healthy choices for the patients he cares for.
