Care providers are good, they need to listen to what the patient is telling them, not just part of it.
February 23, 2025

While I know the outcome will be very good, there are always significant differences between what actually was discussed or what happened during my appointment and what appears in the report that is written later. I have had to have that corrected in the past in case my insurance company would ever read it!
