I cannot sing the praises of Dr. Gomez enough. The road to my diagnosis has been difficult and frustrating at best. He was compassionate and both recognized and validated both my diagnosis/problem and my feelings about it. The appointment was unrushed and he made sure I was not leaving with unanswered questions.
