I had my initial consultation with Dr. F. Since then, both Dr. F and her nurse, Marilyn, have maintained regular communication with me to monitor my medications and track my progress. Recently, I experienced another severe seizure episode and promptly reached out to Dr. F via MyChart. In a swift response, Marilyn posed several questions to ensure she had accurate information to share with Dr. F. During our discussion, I mentioned discontinuing one of the prescribed medications from another provider due to perceived ineffectiveness and unwanted weight gain.

While Dr. F had initially advised against discontinuing it during the first visit, she remained understanding and compassionate, graciously accommodating the adjustment in my medication. Having a healthcare team that genuinely cares about me as an individual, rather than dismissing seizures as a byproduct of other medical issues, is truly reassuring. Over the past few months, Dr. F and Marilyn have proactively reached out to me on at least three occasions to assess my progress and make necessary adjustments to my medication dosage. Their collaborative and supportive approach is immensely appreciated. Marilyn, in particular, exemplifies a proactive and compassionate healthcare professional who anticipates Dr. F's informational needs before reaching out. Her kindness and efficiency make her an exemplary nurse within the OSF facilities. Extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. F and Marilyn for their exceptional care and unwavering support.
