On a personal level I like Dr. Eichelberger, however I wonder the delay in my treatment. I believe the delay, and also voiced by Dr. Atkes, should have been sooner. So when I meet with Dr. Eichelberger I am always left with the question of treatment. Currently I feel the changes in my medication are lowered enough.
