    Doctor listened and took time to explain the treatment. Patiently answered all of my questions. However since treatment cannot be finalized until my primary care provider provides additional details about an unrelated medical condition, I am unsure how and when we will proceed. I feel like I'm in the dark. I don't know what, if anything, is being done to get my surgery scheduled. Do I need to do something? Are they working on it? Is my PCP aware of what's going on?
