Patient verified via Press Ganey

I am always impressed with the preparation and follow-up Dr Mechelke gives me at the Medicare Wellness check. I filled out forms carefully during pre-check-in and she addressed everything without. E coming in with a list. Listened as I expressed displeasure with Pulmonary response and we had a great discussion about plan moving forward. Not at all dismissive, but made me feel we were working together on my health.
