She repeated to make sure she understood, explained all the things that could be causing it and why and she went over possible treatments and apologized for the three month wait since I had presented as hyperthyroid. I appreciated the speed and thoroughness plus later I had a question which she answered within a day. She is excellent

Overall very satisfied with the experience. One interesting chance I noticed is with the demeanor of the front office staff. There is visible positive change in their behavior. They are greeting patients, smiling during the conversations. The experience changed in a positive way.
