Doctor was very attentive and allowed me to speak and ask questions without interrupting me. Respectful
Excellent experience. MD had already reviewed my chart and imaging before meeting me, answered all questions, did the scope during that visit so another appt for that alone wouldn't be needed. RN *** gave thorough instructions for pre and post op process and what I could expect. MA/ PCNA was able to anticipate what was going to be needed for the visit and got everything ready. I hope my surgery goes as smoothly as this visit did! Great teamwork.
