My visit with Dr Katcherian was one of the best doctor visits I have experienced. He does a great job of explaining things and the reasons why. He also listens to what you have to say.Also want to give a great review to I think her name is Glenda who is the receptionist in Ankeny. She goes above and beyond for the patient. I truly do appreciate this! All in all it was a great experience given the circumstances.
