Patient Reviews
Dec 12, 2019
Dr. Houghton is amazing and excellent at what she does. I have achalasia and was miserable, unable to eat or drink properly. Prior to surgery, she explained the process thoroughly, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable in going forward with her as my Doctor. She is very knowledgeable. The surgery went smoothly, and afterwards she called my other half and related to him how it went. He was very pleased also. He said she was very detailed in explaining. It has been a year and the follow up process is great. I feel grateful in having her as my doctor!
