    Very kind, great at listening to my concerns. Just wish there wasn't such a long wait til follow-up visits as well as appt with dietician which is about a two month wait. It would've been nice to have scheduled those two appointments at the time I schedule my initial visit, so as to get to my goals quicker. Thank You
