    I appreciate how Dr Stephen's listened to me and my concerns and how quickly she ordered test necessary to get answers

    So I just wanted to say that this was a virtual consult visit, so I don't feel fully equipped to answer all these questions because we haven't done the procedure yet, the surgery yet. But initially meeting her and the information she was able to give me in her manner, I'm very hopeful and I was very pleased. But I'm at the very beginning of my interactions with the surgeon, so I look forward to the rest of my treatment.

    [redacted] I spoke with Dr Antonia Stephen during an online consultation office visit. She reviewed the issue of a hyperparathyroid adenoma, which was determined from a recent CT scan. She informed me that I would need surgery and made me feel confident that the procedure would help to correct the medical problem.

    Dr. Stephen seems very competent and knowledgeable about everything. I feel like I'm in good hands with her, but I don't feel like my thoughts or opinions matter much. I don't disagree with the course of action she has proposed, but I am also not sure if there are any other options available. I have not been asked for my input at all.

    I felt that she directed her comments to my son instead of to me. I am a competent, well educated, retired attorney And since I am the patient, she should have been talking to me instead of my son.
