    The experience I had at Dr. Cooper's office was excellent. She has a medical assistant, so that's not a nurse. I did not push that one because, but the medical assistant is excellent. I have absolutely nothing but praise for her. And I like the way that the office kept clean. I like the whole... The whole experience except checking in, and that has nothing to do with her. That's it for that. I also pressed a one, I see, instead of all fours at the beginning, and I'm not sure that I didn't make an error because everything about that visit was excellent. So I don't know what I pressed the one for. I just saw in the recap that came up. But I don't want anything negative because that was an extremely good visit. The doctor's extremely caring and thoughtful. That's all I have.
