    I had never met her before, as PA Michael Esquivel had been transferred to a different location. She was with me less than 10 minutes total and was interrupted twice during that time. She seemed very stressed. It was a 4pm appointment and if there was a conflict with a video call, I would have been happy to reschedule. I am scheduled with her again in 3 months, maybe she will have more time.then.

    I had a problem with the statin drug I was taking, plus an increased dose did not help my lab numbers. She had an immediate solution of a different statin that was better tolerated and more effective. I hope to see good results from the new one. The bad reaction I had to the old one is gone now.
