He was able to explain all my options for treatment and also was able to speak to how this may/may not be affected by coverage with my insurance. Also even though he wasn't involved for my prior medical course was able to share his thoughts on the evolution of my rash and how it relates to my previous eczema experiences. Really appreciate him taking the time to see me and the visit felt very thorough, I didn't even realize I was only there for max 20 minutes!
