The provider called and set me up to go to Dr Jeffers for further evaluations and confirmed the recommendations for a new medication that has provided more helpful than anything I've ever been prescribed.

To clarify, extended time of examination, physical testing, and Q&A was provided by an impressive man other than *Dr. Kennedy. He dictated the results into a machine, and then left to report to *Dr. Kennedy, who came a couple of minutes later. Time with him was brief (4-5 minutes), but an excellent summation of diagnosis and way to treat problem.
