• I was very satisfied with my visit. I was in and out in a timely fashion, but felt as though the doctor listened to me and explained to things well. There was no treatment protocol except that I needed an ultrasound. From there, we will have more decisions to make. I was impressed with how fast the ultrasound appointment people called me to schedule an appointment. I also really liked that the doctor gave me three locations to go to for the ultrasound appointment and asked what order of the locations I preferred.
