    My GI doctor it’s been dr. Kahn but when I ended up in the ER at the hospital and I needed an endoscopy, dr. Kahn was on holiday, so dr. Motola took his place. It turned out to be a great experience, since dr. Motola took great care of me, at the hospital and later on at Optum. It’s been a pleasure dealing with dr. Motola, and he got me on my way to a fully recovery .
