The most enjoyable part for me
[00:00:10.440]
is actually getting to know a little bit about each person.
[00:00:15.400]
It's pretty neat when a patient comes in either months later or a year later
[00:00:21.000]
and we're able to have a little bit of a conversation
[00:00:24.160]
about some of those things that are happening in their lives.
[00:00:26.920]
Just the personal part of it is something that I really enjoy.
[00:00:31.600]
It's something that I didn't get to do working in a laboratory,
[00:00:35.080]
and I wanted to work with people.
[00:00:37.560]
Every patient that comes in has individual needs.
[00:00:40.600]
Those different needs is just something that I think
[00:00:44.720]
we try to address individually and specifically
[00:00:48.480]
so that people feel like they got the most out of their experience and their visit.
[00:00:53.000]
The doctors that are here, they have made me want to come back
[00:00:57.880]
for the four years that I've been going here.
[00:01:00.040]
It's not just the doctors, it's the staff, it's the whole practice.
[00:01:04.440]
It's almost like they have a unique personality here.
[00:01:09.800]
People come back and tell me,
[00:01:11.080]
"This was easy to do. This was difficult to follow.
[00:01:14.640]
This item or over-the-counter product worked or it didn't."
[00:01:18.360]
That's just part of the learning process,
[00:01:21.200]
and that's what gives you the experience to be more efficient,
[00:01:24.840]
more effective, and be able to help more people down the road.
