She was very straight forward and to the point. Efficient but lacked a bit of compassion for my concern of having a catarax. Did tell me it was of no concern, but when I offered to give her the diagnosis from the previous VA Claims provider to show what she saw, she seemed disinterested and sent me on my way.
