Clinical Biography

I brought my elderly mother in but I don't feel the necessary test were done. She's still experiencing the exact same issue and I don't feel the doctor did the proper test for diagnosis.

Yes, my appointment went very well, but I'm waiting to hear the results from the biopsy. I wish that y'all could call me tomorrow and let me know about that. Thank you.

Love the staff, all very kind, didn't treat me any different because of my size or medical history! Took a wonderful approach to individualized care without making me feel overwhelmed by my high risk status.
