Welcome to The Unrushed Hour, where we break away from the hustle of hurried medical visits to put patients’ stories, and time, at the center. In our very first episode, Dr. Angela Mineo, a board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of Cheval Wellness, describes her personal journey from ICU nurse to patient searching for answers, and ultimately to healthcare provider dedicated to unrushed, personalized care. She delves into the frustrations many women face when their symptoms are dismissed or overlooked, the pitfalls of relying solely on “normal” lab results, and why taking the time to truly listen makes all the difference. If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office with more questions than answers, this episode is for you.
