    About our process
    Nov 23, 2025
    Dr. Martin is thorough with me when he explains my labs and overall care of my disease. He always calms me as I often sense that I am not doing better when I actually am. He responds to the recent changes, listens to how I am doing and offers alternative care. We discussed ways to think about planning the next year ahead.

    Still waiting for written notes after 4 days :-( It was a 2nd opinion appt so I didn't receive instructions, but I expect those will be in his notes. I'm a little annoyed that it's taking so long for me to see them because I still need to think about what he suggested before committing to Tx
