The time spent with the PA was good, with good explanations. The time spent with the physician was very limited, with limited explanations of all the options or discussions with me. The physician did explain that once we had updated bloodwork there would be a follow up discussion. More time should have been spent discussing my approach to managing symptoms or risk, as well as discussing my overall health and the risks.
