One of those chronic things that needs to monitored yearly and maintenance prescriptions, but I'm healthier now than before, and he takes the time to explain and tell you what needs to improved on. I're reversed my condition once, it's diet related, so working on it again. We've seemed to have grown as friends over these years too. He's said let's work out together but, he's up too early for me! LOL! I do my workouts at the gym, home, bike and walk.

When all I asked for was a referral- I did all the research myself. Not only did I feel like my care was dismissed but I was neglected and billed extra after messaging in the portal which I was not informed about.
