    Caring, curious, positively helpful even when during off hours to help ensure my ESI was approved when the insurance prior with team were being ridiculously over demanding and treating my diagnosis as an initial versus continuity of care from initial diagnosis 5 yrs ago - kindly treatment and proactive actions to truly be a valued member of my healthcare team
