Dr Garrett did not provide any further information about my vocal cords as to what to do next. She gave me a referral for poor posture to physical therapy. I do not have poor posture. She left me hanging as what happens next

Everyone was polite, made me feel comfortable, and explained everything. I'm so happy with my visit and the care I've received so far. Wish I had gotten to them sooner.
