    I didn't like our last conversation that we had at my last visit. I don't like to be forced or criticized if I'm not comfortable in getting certain treatments. I understand that the doctors are here to help us, however I should not be told that if I don't comply that I won't be considered a patient of theirs anymore. Not nice.

    My problem fell in the 'idiopathic' category, so there were no obvious causes of the problem. However, Dr. Kesner did order some tests that I think were aimed to interrogate the immune system. Test results are pending

    She was very thorough, kind, and professional. I am not sure I would recommend her based on how long it takes to get an appointment. If the wait time were shorter, I definitely would. Also I don't like the recording system used. There were times she was speaking into the recording and I thought she asked me questions. I would answer and she would hold her hand up as if to say wait. So I wasn't sure if she was asking me or just talking into the system.
