Dr. Arndt and his wonderful staff worked with me as a new patient to expedit the procedure because I was experiencing problems and was anxious about it. A day before the procedure I was diagnosed with covid 19 and had to cancel.

But you will remember Dr Arndt and his top notch team of nurses and support staff. I never felt more comfortable about an "uncomfortable" procedure. The nurses explained everything fully so I never had a question about what was coming next. When you are being taken care of by the best, you know it because they're practiced enough at their job to be relaxed and THAT puts you at ease.
