Patient Reviews
Dec 02, 2022
I am 80 years old retired person. Three years ago, I suffered from Ulcerative colitis, however, my first Gastroenterology doctor could not control it. So, in 2020-2021 my watery diarrhea was never stopped, which let me lost 30 LB! In Jan. 2022 I find Dr. A and asked him as my second opinion doctor. He spent one month and used new monoclonal-antibody, quickly stopped my watery diarrhea! Dr. A is absolutely an excellent doctor. He is kind to ask my symptom in detail. Every time when blood test just reported he immediately send message in patient gateway and explained those results. When constipation occurs, he told medicine and fruits. He was very knowledgeable for all my situation. I really appreciate his help. Q. Hua
