Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach thing, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Date actually listened to the whole weird timeline. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a pretty uncommon thyroid issue. He drew me a little diagram on his notepad to explain how it all worked. Finally felt like someone had actually solved the puzzle.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Date made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in twenty minutes. He talked me through each step, and the local anesthetic worked perfectly. I was back home having lunch, just a bit sore. Sometimes simple things going right is a huge relief.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But the nurses at Dr. Date's clinic were really on it. One of them saw I looked anxious and brought me a glass of water while I waited. The whole place just felt calm and clean, which helped a lot. Even the person at the front desk was patient with my insurance questions.
What stood out with Dr. Date was how he talked to my elderly father. He didn't just talk to me. He sat down, looked my dad in the eye, and explained everything in simple terms without being patronizing. He asked about his daily routine to see how the treatment would fit in. You could tell he just gets people.
