    "I do feel this provider actively listened however I'm not confident I got answers to the questions I asked. I feel there was more to my history than what was addressed. Unsure if that was due to time or previous care being with different health systems. He seemed very knowledgeable and respectful otherwise."

    "As a first time patient, it was a shock to be advised to take a new, strong medication, and to undergo a risky procedure, with a plan to do stents at the same time, if deemed necessary. It was too much for me to take in. I called back to discuss it further. His nurse called me back and discussed it with me. I am assessing what my body can tolerate, given my 4 month battle with extreme mouth/ jaw pain(gone after I had a molar removed), blood pressure shooting up, and intense stomach pressure. There is no real evidence that I have a blockage. I'm working on gut issues, and building my strength back up for now."
