Yes, my visit with Dr. Lars Anderson was, I'm sorry, Richardson was great, including the receptionist as well. He was great too. I didn't catch his name, unfortunately, but he was amazing as well, friendly, helpful, smiled, you know, all those things you kind of look for in, you know, in a doctor's office when you go for care. So thank you so much.
