    This care provider was very thorough in researching and asking me questions about my previous health and asthma and allergy, as well as my EOE and medications. He informed me about what he needed from me and what our plan of course of action is based off of my history. He also explained to me in pretty decent detail in the time given about my conditions that nobody has ever explained to me before and I appreciated that greatly. It makes me understand my allergies better and it makes me able to feel more confident moving forward with plans and recommendations given to me from this provider.
