dr Peterson is generally very helpful. it didn't appear that she was aware that if seen another dr in her absence the week previous regarding dizziness and shaking to evaluate if it was from tapering off my medicine. she thought we were going to discuss coming off the med. I was surprised that she didn't follow-up with the previous appointment and encouraged me to keep my session to 2 issues. I thought the severe migraine was part of tapering off the med. she said that it wasn't because it was out of my system. I thought that was the point of being seen? I left feeling confused.
