I have taken other people to their doctor appointments and it seems like many of the doctors try to rush you through your appointment like they're punching a time clock this was nothing like that with Dr Adams she gave me the time I needed and then when I tried to get long-winded which I do have a tendency to do she eased me right back me back to the subject without me even realizing it
