staff was extremely professional and the doctor was on time and listened to me. I am very confident we will get to the root of my problems and I wish this could happen more quickly. Waiting for some test results and can't get the Hydrogen Breath Test until February. Hoping for a cancellation! Meantime I have extreme spasms and the pain is crazy!
