I could not be more pleased with my care provider. I was suppose to see another provider as my provider was booked. I know sooner hung up the phone when I got a call to come in earlier and would be seeing my regular provider. This was great because, my husband had just died and I got an eye infection. My broke down and cried. He listened to me and made me feel better. So glad he was able to fit me into his schedule.

I have to admit, I have kind of taken a laissez-fare attitude about my health care. I have been ignoring some conditions and things that need to be taken care of and get back to using my CPAP. I do appreciate the doctors advice and counsel and will strive to do better to follow his recommendations. Oh, and by the way, I have discontinued drinking 50 ounces of coffee a day. I am making progress.
