great experience

July 24, 2020

He was very thorough. Explained everything that needed to be done and ordered all test that were needed.

While this may be routine to doctor and team, it is the first time that it has happened to me. Explanations such as "you'll need surgery when you can't do the things you want to do" are not very helpful. Surgery in the doctor's mind may be inevitable, but not in my case. I'd like to explore other options. When I expressed concern that another part of my body was affected, I was told "I don't do that" in reference to the area. Not impressed.

Donna Ward always took time out to listen thoroughly. She eased a lot of my worries. Also the amount of paperwork she had to submit for STD ......God Bless her!
