Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari

Oh, yeah.

I mean, even just as recently as yesterday, people walk into this RV that from the outside is pretty unassuming.

It was something that came from Camping World.

And they step inside and they're greeted by me, the doctor in normal clothing.

And my medical assistant, who is always there with me because we like to have a second person there for procedures, for blood draws.

We want to try to do as much inside the walls that we can.

There is a couch up front that we haven't changed.

It's just the regular RV living room that you walk into.

We have fairy lights.

We have curtains that were sewn and designed by my good friend.

And we have a little exam room in the back where there's normally a bed.

that we ripped out and we just put an exam table back there.

But we also have wall hangings that let our community know that they are welcome and safe within those walls, no matter who they are.

Yeah, you know, I was in a traditional office for a decade and we provided really good care and a good number of my patients in the RV followed me from that clinic.

So they know who I am and we already had a very good doctor-patient relationship.

But in the clinic, I had three exam rooms that were running all at the same time.

They had that sort of sterile exam room feel and I would have to

hop from one to the next to the next with my computer in my hand and my white coat on.

And I'd come in and we would have, you know, sometimes a 10-minute appointment, sometimes 30, depending on the situation.

But there was always a sense that there was a waiting room of people that were waiting to be seen.
