Dr. Kanarek, on his own, I did not even ask, went to the website, Hackensack Hospital, and got off the information that I needed or really should have with me to present to my primary care doctor in order for her to write a script for me. And I was thrilled that he was able to do that so efficiently, quickly, and generously. Gave it over to me. And now I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow. And I will have all the information she needs in order to be able to approve and give me a prescription. So I'm so thrilled that Dr. Kanarek just offered to do it rather than me ask him. Thank you. Bye-bye.
