Emily took all my concerns seriously. Even though I was worried about a hobby (playing tennis) and how out of breath I was, she understood that quitting it was a quality of life reduction I wanted to avoid. She scheduled a treadmill test and even came by while it was going on. I feel like she really heard my concerns and addressed them with the least intervention possible, making it clear that we would look at lifestyle changes and then move on to medication if that didn't do the trick. She was very clear about starting an exercise program and how to do it.
