have a ton of confidence in her expertise. not clear what diagnosis or treatment is but that's because not sure what it is yet. did not feel like she gave enough weight to some of what we or other doctors had said. very confident in what she knows (and probably with reason). what we know matters too and while she listened I could see her dismissing it.

My increase of symptoms seems so complicated, so I think Dr. Thulin gets to the main cause of the problem well. I feel frustrated when trying a new approach with the medications as I know that I will need to check in with her if the first approach doesn't work and my best option to do that is My Chart. That is a good tool, but I would like to talk to her more often if that were possible. A few days of suffering while trying a new drug regimen can seem like a very long time.

The doctor was very good and thorough, she did come in kind of skeptical about my age and having this condition, however through the course of the exam it did lessen up as she determined that I did have this. And was very kind and explained everything to me. But at the end of the appointment she mentioned that she was running late and that was the end of the appointment, kind of abrupt.

I thought the pain in my legs and stiffness was caused by worn out knee. I would have liked her to explain to me that the symptoms I was having was caused by PD. She was much friendlier
