Today was a good day with my Dr. I find listening to each other is becoming more effective. I also like that when I came in the nurse didn't just slap a BP monitor on me and take my BP while trying to get me to answer questions. I felt that it was a more calm intro into the appt. WHICH I feel any doctor's office should be. I understand how busy everyone is but I also feel that a Dr. office should be an inviting place that isn't always about time which then I feels like a negative space.
