Both my husband and I were very pleased with the doctor. We had a very positive discussion. It was my husband's one year anniversary of his kidney transplant and all is going well. And he is very supportive of us and really understands what the year has been like and it's been a very, very positive experience. Thank you so much.
Treat me like Family everytime I go.
