I appreciate the doctor's explanation of some drug interactions that could happen with my current prescriptions. She referred me to another doctor to come up with a clear plan of what the next steps would be.

I was coming from a negative care experience, so I was reluctant to answer fully. Dr. Cheerla teased the information out and told me, "I want to know."
