    Although Ruth Pryor listened to my concerns I felt she didn't take things seriously. Insisted that my issues would only be resolved with yoga, stretching weight resistance and aerobic exercise. I have done all these through physical therapy, stretching and walking but my symptoms don't improve. I have addressed these concerns with my primary as well with the same response. The symptoms didn't start until menopause. She was also unaware of my history of DVT when we discussed estrogen. Never asked about my family history which includes Ovarian cancer.

    The reason i said never for the question related to lab follow up is because i saw the labs and reached out about the results, the provider then answered my questions. It would have been nice to receive a written summary of the visit/ and explanation of lab results and next steps. In the visit, next steps depending on the results were discussed, but it's not easy to retain all that information, especially when nervous. Since there was no summary, i had to reach out to make sure my next steps aligned with what we had talked about in the visit
