Client Testimony: The amount of time a doctor can spend with a patient on any appointment is shorter and shorter, and it has been a huge help to get information for my appointments to make them more efficient. I have had many questions that I asked Dr. Georgianne about symptoms…which were significant; which ones needed attention; what to do for the problems they caused; how I could best take care of medication issues; what things I needed to be certain to discuss with the doctor.. all these and more. Having her unhurried, clear answers gives me a sense of having a more informed input into my care. Instead of being a patient waiting for the doctor to tell me what to do, I am taking responsibility for my health. If the doctor recommends a particular medication, I am much more comfortable asking about possible side effects, benefits, and costs. If a test or consultation is suggested, I am more comfortable getting all the reasons for it, and what is expected to be learned from that. When I understand the reasons and probable benefits of a medicine or test, I am far more likely to be compliant with any treatment that would follow.
