What Patients Say
"I loved being able to think through my symptoms properly before the appointment. The doctor already knew everything when I arrived, so we could focus on what to do about it."
— Sarah M., Patient
"Much better than filling out paper forms in the waiting room. I could do this on my phone the night before, and it helped me remember all the details I wanted to mention."
— James T., Patient
"The questions were really helpful for organizing my thoughts. I felt like the doctor understood my situation better because I'd documented everything properly."
— Linda K., Patient
"Simple and quick. Took me about 10 minutes, and it made my appointment so much more productive. The doctor had time to really discuss treatment options."
— Michael R., Patient
