i've had many medical issues for several years, some that i can't even transmit when i didn't have them. there is not a single day that i am not in pain or discomfort, it's more a matter of what level at any given time. i've learned to have a pretty good tolerance for pain. having a provider that from the beginning is saying that yes there are many things going on, dr. buchner appeared confident in what needs to be addressed now and in what order. i am hopeful that she will be the type of provider that maintains open communication.
