Appreciate the transparency of Dr. Schoenborn about my current health, which is excellent and need to see her in the future. We discussed the limitations the schedule if the is immediate need as a practicing physician vs. Her role as a researcher. I was also informed that if I return in a year, that [staff] would probably not be with her and another doctor would be.
