      She explains the results of my blood work in terms that are easily understood and how it relates to my kidney functions. She sends the latest blood work results and a summary of my most recent visit with her. Additionally, she tries to coordinate their blood work requests to avoid overlapping and/or prevent numerous requests. She makes you feel that she is truly concerned about your health and informs me of ways to continue to make healthy decisions. I wish all of my doctors were like her.
