Was seen by a resident first who was very kind and obviously learning. The doctor was excellent, explained what conditions he thought I had, the usual course of treatment, next steps, etc. As I already had seen other providers for this issue who weren't sure the cause, it was wonderful to talk to an expert that did. I'm very clear in what is wrong and what to do next.
