Providence Patient
This was my first time going to the office building and had met the doctor for the 3rd time. She was very friendly, patience and already knew what was wrong with my skin. I have Lichen Planus in which I have never heard. She did biopsy on the same day and did everything she can to help me with so much patience. A really nice heart. But As an hearing impaired, they provide me interpreter via iPad. And the only issue is the iPad was heavy and didn't have a stand to hold the iPad. In another doctor visit, they use a stand like the blood pressure machine roll to hold the iPad. I had a little hard time holding and trying to look at the interpreter and doctor talking with a kinda of heavy iPad. Overall great.
