She listened to everything I had to say and asked a lot of questions, started ordering tests immediately and followed up first thing the next day when the first results were in. She actually gave me different instructions than any other GI that I’ve seen (there have been several). The office was clean, they were organized and very efficient, but I was not rushed during my appointment in any way. I would definitely recommend to anyone!"
