    PA-C Ben Frimmer listened to my concerns about a chronic condition. He answered my questions and came up with a plan to address my problems. The only thing I would recommend is that since I forgot to bring a pen and paper, I missed a lot of his recommendations and it wasn't in his notes. This could be remedied by offering a pad of paper and pen, to patients for note taking, or by having him write it in the charts.
