He referred me to a gynecologist who has been very helpful to me for menopausal issues. He set up a meeting for me with his clinic pharmacist to discuss my medication options for osteoporosis. He reviews my blood work in detail with me and looks at any changes from year to year. He takes a lot of time with me to discuss my health needs. I have a great deal of trust in him and appreciate his unrushed manner and full attention.
