6/9/2023 Like him very much.

7/1/2023 Didn't know what an NMR test was and didn't know if it was offered by Optum.
6/9/2023 He did a good job on my medical needs.
7/1/2023 I am [omitted] years old, in good health but slowing down a lot. He doesn't respond to my questions, all things aging. And it's hard to get a REFERRAL from him.

5/23/2023 I really don’t talk to to many people
