Everything was fine and there'll be a follow up, probably in the next two or three months with a test. And then I'll probably see Dr. Chwalisz maybe in a year. So everything was fine.

It was specifically directed to my ongoing condition that is regularly examined, but present issues were also discussed and will be evaluated.

Unclear going forward as to correcting my issues. Dr made several reading suggestions. I get the impression that multiple doctors are assisting me but that there is no clear answer as to my constant fatigue.

Nothing. My headache cause is still a mystery and difficult. This is hard for me, but we are working it out together.

Dr. Chwalisz is a compassionate and dedicated physician. He engages the patient in their own care aligning treatment with their goals.

Dr. Bart was great. My only concern is the length of time it took me to get an initial appointment. Four months is far too long of a wait for a consultation. My disease has probably progressed more because of it.
