    Dr. Baitel was very prepared for my visit. It appears as though she had printed out my health history and made notes on the documents As points to discuss with me at the meeting. She listened to all my concerns and took time to address each one of them appropriately.

    I could tell Dr. Baitel was in somewhat of a hurry, as the modern medicine practice requires seeing as many patients as possible in a day, but I really appreciated how attentive she was and how many followup questions she asked me to fully understand my situation.
