    I chose Dr. Pryor specifically after a hand surgery [redacted]. There were unusual findings of significant inflammation that were sent to pathology during the surgery. [redacted] Dr. Pryor was remarkably skilled at helping me to make important connections between a constellation of physical changes. The doctor was well prepared, efficient, knowledgeable, engaged, professional, yet listen closely to my overarching concerns. [redacted] Dr. Pryor also kindly pointed out that I was doing "everything I could possibly do to stem the tide of my health situation". Informing me that I was excellent condition from a lifestyle perspective. I left the visit, feeling clearer, somewhatless frustrated and more empowered about my current health situation and the complex nature of an aging, albeit well cared for body. Finally, while Dr. Pryor was quite efficient, she walked the path with me during this visit that helped me to navigate and leave feeling better educated and heard. The visit was refreshing and certainly worth the 2 hour drive.
