Dr. Peter Kreymerman-Last Appointment :(

Heather Lucas, Me, Dr. Kreymerman
notice the JAMBA JUICE; I brought them in
for Heather and PK.  the office is not usually messed up

As I entered the Mayo Clinic, I was a bit sad, knowing today would be my last appointment with Dr. Peter Kreymerman. Most patients look forward to this day, but for me, it's sad. Dr. PK and Heather have become household names around here.
As I waited for Dr. Kreymerman and Heather to come into the room. I was in extreme pain, doubled over, and my legs were shaking. I felt like I was in labor. I was hoping they wouldn't walk in and see me like that; I tried so hard to get it under control, but the. The more I wanted to control it, the worse it got.... the door opened, and there they were, staring at me.

I was embarrassed and was not sure how to react. I composed myself the best I could so PK could examine me; still, I was in pain, but not quite as bad as when I was sitting and waiting. All the work he did looks great. Dr. Kreymerman and Heather sat and talked to me about my upcoming surgery. I opened up to them about some of my past and the fears I having this hysterectomy. I told Dr. Kreymerman that I trust him so much that I would feel so much better if he was in the OR with me; he reassured me that Dr. Magtibay is an incredible doctor as well as a highly respected man and again that I need to do all I am told to do. Dr. Kreymerman is leaving soon for a fellowship in Atlanta. I hope his sweet family has a wonderful time making new memories in Atlanta, but I look forward to him returning to Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale in July. No-Good-Byes- I'll see you LATER, and I love you both. I cried a bit on my way home, thinking about what a big part of my life they have been, how much I will miss them, and exceptionally how compassionate and kind Dr. Kreymerman has been. I wish every patient could experience this unconditional love in health care.
