Chronic IllnessChronic PainListens & Believes PatientsPatient-Centered CareAccepts MedicaidPelvic PainI have Interstitial Cystitis. It can be incredibly painful. Diet Modification helps but not everyone gets full relief from it. The prior clinitian refused to continue some medications I had been on for years because of a warning about drug interaction. But there was no attempt to replace it. So when I explained to Heather that two prior Urologists, two pharmacists and primary doctors had not seen it as a problem and I looked at the study and it noted the dosage that caused the interaction and I took less than that. So she understood that it was a nuanced situation and prescribed it. I have an interstim that didn't help so now that it its battery died I am not getting it replaced and she is fine with that. She understands that my bladder is angry. Brody Baker shares her caseload and is also helpful.
