A good teacher with an encouraging spirit

Dr. Walend is a good listener and a good teacher. She is my "go to" for all medical questions related to my health & the well being of my family.
Her years of experience as a student and clinician are apparent. She relayed a story recently to me that she had a professor tell her back when she was in medical school. We were discussing COVid 19 and my recent hypertension related to either the vaccine or virus. Dr. Walend's professor said one day a pandemic would happen. It will expose weakness in the human body that may not have surfaced before - kind of like a decorative vase that has tiny cracks but those cracks are not apparent until it is filled with water. Her common sense explanations on just about everything - why when traveling and drinking water from other places our bodies may become sluggish with changes in gastrointestinal habits.
I appreciate her prompt reply with medical concerns. We feel blessed to have the ability to participate with concierge medicine and Dr. Walend.
