She couldn’t have been nicer. One of the best experiences I’ve had in the medical world. Explained everything to me in a way I could understand and explained what’s up next for me with my appointment at OSF. I appreciated her taking time to show me what the pancreas looks like what they might have to do.

I had more questions for Dawn but she did not return to the room after leaving to check on the blood test I just had done.

Dawn was very helpful. She left the room to order some tests… and I thought she would be back to answer a few questions I had but she didn’t return. Nurse brought in paperwork and sent me to the lab 🤷♀️

Great appointment. Dawn knew everything about my medical background and recent tests done elsewhere. Could tell she was super prepared for my arrival. Plan of care was thorough. Excellent.
