Many health providers are quick to throw a diagnosis and/or treatment plan that may "help" with the first symptom mentioned, rather than working backwards, to remedy the root of the problem. Dr. Murthy listens and processes in his mind as you explain what you're experiencing, may ask a couple questions for further clarification and in my case, always hit the nail on the head with the underlying issue and further explained how most people respond differently (in my case). I say this because being a percentage of ANY smaller group are often times the patients that go under the radar or are misdiagnosed from lack of knowledge, experience, or research into the more uncommon combined symptoms. Your doctor matters! I'm one of "those" that take my kids on the rare occasions I know they're going to need a Rx, but always get over myself and move on - Bigger fish to fry and don't have the time. World of difference since being under his care. He's amazing!
