    Is there anything else you would like to share about your experience with your provider?

    She was very factual and had good information to share. I would have liked to hear more details about the findings including more specific statistics and future avenues for care. I felt that Dr. Fisher and the genetic counselor gave me some good information but I would have liked to understand the condition more thoroughly. I didn't have any specific questions but afterward felt that our visit was rushed and I was not able to explain the findings adequately to my partner.
