    My provider and the nursing staff are top notch. A little confused with the My Chart notification process. It did not make clear to me what the purpose of the appointment. I assumed my first visit was for lab work, which was not stated by My Chart. I had to call the office to make sure of the first visit's purpose. My Chart also didn't make clear if my visit with my provider was the same day as the phone call from the nurse.

    The Dr. looked tired and had had a bad day. He did look at my hip and told me that I was on the best meds for my MS. Keep taking my meds! I have another appointment with my regular doctor to look at my swollen right arm, and he said it is definitely swollen and he would let the regular Dr. deal with it.
