    This appointment went very well. I ended up having some appointments to schedule, one of which has already been scheduled, and I feel like this doctor is genuinely concerned about my health issues and is looking for a way to treat me, rather than just "push me aside" like I've been feeling with other doctors.

    Respected my wishes, not to be informed on the details. As I told, I trust them to do what needs to be done. Just to tell be where & when to be there. Because I'm trying hard not to think about it. I know they wanted to tell me, but I asked them not to.
