Scheduling an In Person Appointment and/or asking to speak to a member of my health care team keeps getting better and better. Thank you! Some changes you have implemented are pleasantly suprising and delightful. E.g. Getting to meet the human scheduler - a face to a voice. The overall atmosphere in the waiting area is "lighter" than before: staff and patients smile more often and I hear laughter. All good for healing. You might think about what words you choose to UNDERLINE. It may not emhasize the action (or non-action) you are intending.

I see and haven been seen by MANY healthcare professionals in the last two years. In this time, Dr. Mercado is the best informed, most careful, thoughtful, and insightful by far than any other clinician I have seen. I know it sounds like hyperbole but it's true. She is the ONLY health care provider that I see that has taken the time to get up to date before our appointments. She understands the scope of my health care history, not just a piece of it. I truly wish she could be my primary care physician. She listens and does her homework. I have often felt like the is the hub of all the spokes or maybe the glue that holds it all together. I am super appreciative of her expertise and knowledge.

The provider has somewhat improved on listening to me and asking for my input on what I would like for my care. Before I was belittled for not taking my healthcare seriously, when I have been on this journey just to get to her office for years and missed one appointment when I'm dealing with chronic fatigue. So improving wasn't a high bar.
