Had a good appointment.

Had a good appointment booking experience. There were a lot of available sessions. Then went on to have a phone appointment. The professional asked questions to assess my situation and provided advice and options.

Bad connection

Unfortunately, the line wasn’t clear, could not use the video and conversation was kept cutting off,,,, nobody’s fault, I think, just had a bad connection and a bad luck…. Because she tried to connect with me sometimes, we lost some valuable time and she was rushing to end. I didn’t know what next step was so I had to call AXA back.
