    She was a good listener. She seemed to absorb the information. She had looked at my charts, so she was familiar with my case before I went in. However, she didn't agree with what my primary care doctor thought was going on and just dismissed it, didn't run any tests to prove or disprove it. And in the end, after all the blood work, could not give me any kind of a concrete answer and then referred me to another rheumatologist [redacted]

    Hi. Yeah, so for Dr. Schoenfeld, I really appreciated that she - I feel like she did a good job. She looked at my situation thoroughly. I came in for scleroderma. I was diagnosed about six months ago through atrius, and I found the scleroderma program, and so that's why I reached out just to see what that program offered. And she explained the information more specifically and the condition and the implications of the progression in great detail, which I appreciated. And she ran additional blood work just to check a couple of additional things going on potentially in my body, which I appreciate. So that's it. I just - I appreciate the thoroughness that she really did and the attention and the attentiveness that she provided.
