Actually I had an appointment with Dr. Weitzel, they had sent me to Dr. Perez Straziota. when she saw me she referred me back to Dr. Weitzel; after she examined me yet again, she was able to see the problem more clearly. She is the best I've had since we moved to the West side. I hope I get to keep her.
