Patient Reviews
Feb 05, 2016
I absolutely loved my experience with her.:) As much as you can enjoy gastro appts lol. She was very insightful, knowledgeable and had wonderful bedside manners. She actually took an hour to talk to my wife and I about what we were gonna do to figure out my condition, and get me better. She didn't rush, or anything; very thorough.I needed this after dealing with Dr's that scoffed me off and said nothing was wrong when there is. She made me feel like a person again when other Dr's failed to.
