    Excellent first meeting. The evaluation of my problem was thorough. My concerns were clearly heard and I received an appropriate supportive response. I was given clear Instructions about what I should do before our next meeting to be prepared to discuss my treatment.

    I am a retired doctor so know the ins and outs of medicine today with all of the competing bureaucratic and administrative activities that take doctors aways from caring for their patients. Dr Shoback was outstanding and I hope she receives some compensation for her excellent patient care, shared clinical decision making approach and the time she took with me to develop a patient informed treatment plan.
