05/27/2025
I was offered multiple treatment plans for the problem - some have been tried already & those were dismissed. Very pleased with the care provided. I was, at first, slightly Intimidated by the fact that the Dr. Is very young, however what I am finding out Is that youth seem to be more aware of promising ways to treat/control a health Issue. Often times the older Drs. Just pat you on the back & say "well you are getting older". Yes, I am getting older, but I still have years left & would like to live my time without dealing with medical issues that can be fixed.
