Patient Reviews
Oct 29, 2024
Appointment for 4pm, got into the room at 4:10pm. But the doctor was worth the wait if you need a specialist for your liver, he is the one. Asks questions while paying attention and gives advice without any medical terminology, explaining what he wants to do and why and what is a waste of time to do. Finally after 3 months of 'specialists' we have found one.
