    Skilled, responsive, and informed. She seemed to want to direct me to another ""class"" of providers, mainly Optometrists not MDs. She was firm on her conviction about causes for visual dysfunctions, but quickly referred me to another specialty, period. Finding alternative specialists became my problem (""Perhaps your PC doctor could help"".) Other than discovering my single surprising visual loss was caused by non eye dysfunctions, one felt rather vulnerable.
