That was my first time with doctors who answered my questions. I feel like we have a plan going forward and that it is possible that I can survive this. I also want to say that you have a genie in the blood lab. I have had a lot of IV's and blood draws over the last 6 weeks, but she hit a vein first time and so quickly that I was astounded. I don't remember her name, but she is a keeper.

After i undressed I sat on the table for over 90 minutes which was uncomfortable and added to the stress of the visit. The lights timed out twice while waiting so it made me somewhat upset.

Getting into treatment room is great. Seeing Doctor is timely and I have great confidence in him. Knowing when I can leave the treatment room needs a lot of work. I don't mind waiting if I know, feeling like I have been forgotten, I do mind

We're waiting for a biopsy on my mother and it's been 2 weeks, so getting this scheduled after seeing the doctor at UAMS for this clinic, it just seems like it's a little long cause it's been half a month. It should've been a faster process. We still haven't heard anything. So, a little bit disappointed in that.

I have no doubt Dr. Savage is a competent oncologist and surgeon. He does not, however, have a kind and helpful demeanor. He does not speak or make eye contact when he walks in, he never makes eye contact and that's asking too. In short, he is rather cold and authoritarian Thank goodness for his APRNs and other staff
