      Provider was courteous and professional. She listened carefully to my concerns and helped address them. She didn't provide more detail for care besides a prescription (e.g. Diet, lifestyle, non-medication type management), but she wasn't rude when I asked if there were any lifestyle changes I could make to better manage the problem.
