I felt rushed toward the end of the appointment. There were things I wanted to say and I did not get the chance as it was evident our time was up.

Dr. Eaton is thorough and takes really good notes, which is helpful to me and other providers. He is an amazing physician and has shown me through his excellent care the difference in receiving care vs. Being cared for/about. Complex cases are just as much about the 'medicine' as they are about daily living and quality of life--he understands that.
