I have a lot going on, and Dr. Palanaswami was thorough (in my opinion). She documented my new meds, new diagnosis, and new doctors, all new procedures I have coming up, ordered blood work, explained what she's looking for in the blood work, and referred genetic testing to rule out another disorder. She listened to my new concerns, was kind, and had great bedside manner, while being thorough. Thank you, Dr. P.
