    Dr. Baitel was so sweet and understanding. I really feel like she listened and while we both know things need to be worked on regarding me and my health, I could tell she is patient first. She wanted to make sure that I was okay and understood next steps. I really needed that encouragement especially since I never had that encouragement from a doctor before.
