    Dr Ray was thoroughly professional and excellent in understanding my condition.
    Aug 05, 2024
    Provider understood concern about ongoing monitoring of condition & frequency of invasive tests resulting from such monitoring by (1) acknowledging the concern and (2) doing her best to adjust the interval of required testing; although not freedom from such testing, such a result is the next best thing (and likely the ideal way for a provider to handle such a concern, even if a given patient shouldn't require any such monitoring).

    Apr 24, 2023
    Impatient, comes off with arrogance and frustration with my detailed questions , refers questions as "outside of their knowledge or interest " thus leaving me feeling like a part as opposed to a whole person who had serious surgical situation
