i felt dr chao rushed me a bit. she told during my first visit if the medication she prescribed to did not work then the next visit she would send me for a test due to my throat feels like it's closing. she prescribed me with reflux medication which my pcp has already gave that to me to try. also, it seem to focus on reflux instead of my throat closing. this visit today was a waste.
