It would be nice if there was cocoa available for those of us that don't drink coffee aside from that nothing else from my point of view needs to be done

I recently had a scope done with Dr. Jonathan Laryea and as scary as they are, him and his staff made me feel so comfortable. (INAUDIBLE) me the entire time and when I was in pain, the nurse grabbed my hand and talked me through it. (INAUDIBLE) Dr. Laryea kept asking (INAUDIBLE) a couple minutes through it, and they were very respectful and very wonderful, and I would recommend them to anybody I come across - because that being some of the scariest things you have to go through is awesome (INAUDIBLE) be there for you, and really appreciate them. Thank you guys.
