Just simply a great Doctor, Christensen, she worked closely with my tech issues with the communications, while i'm sure she was evaluating me as a problem solver cool but the time used to just getting the session ate time. My time with her,, she pushed the over time passed the clock that could be without pushing on the next hours patient that she needed to move on. Great empathy for me and my stuff..
