Dr T is taking Dr [NAME]'s patients. I felt like during the visit was the first he had seen of my file. Dr [NAME] was great and this visit everything seemed rushed and awkward. Fortunately I am in remission and there weren't many issues to discuss.

No set treatment plan was developed at this time, though some new tests were decided on and that and everything else was well explained to me.
