It was my first time meeting the doc. Her assistant was very nice to do the pre-doc meeting. The doc came in and provided her recommendations and asked relevant questions. I was happy to meet her in person and hope to have future appts with her but do virtual visits since it takes me an hour to get to Westwood.

Glad to learn more about nutrition - how much protein I need and what can be learned from my lab results.
