    Well, they pay attention to me every time I come. And they're very considerate. And I sit down, and I wait. They come out for me. I go in. And I look where I'm going for the doctor. And after that, everything's fine. They find out what's wrong. They order it on CVS, and they send me to another doctor. I don't know. Everything seems to work out well. I'm not depressed about it. I think it was a good experience. And I don't mind coming here. It's less crowded. There's more to do about the business. I'm getting you well.

Even though I ended up being healthy, I'm glad that he took my concerns seriously and got me the treatment and care that I needed in order to verify that nothing was wrong because I was very worried based on some testing results. I really appreciate Dr. Patel, I really appreciate him hearing me out, and I really appreciate the care and concern he showed in order to double check, in order to make sure that everything was going well. He didn't just take things for granted or make assumptions. He made sure that we got the data we needed to verify that my treatment was correct.
