Dr. Brown is very good. She shows me the CT scan and we discuss it. We talk about how important it is not to reinfect myself. To be diligent in doing nebulizer. she teaches me and I appreciate it. She is honest and says I do not know, let's try this. And instead of being terse, says there is room for improvement. Very respectful.

This visit the communication was very good. I felt heard and concern. I was concerned that as an older woman, this young doctor might blow me off, but she heard me and answered questions and we have a plan. That made me feel good too. Yup I am sticking with her!!
