    The first time I met her, she was very friendly and professional, but during the procedure she doesn’t come to say hello to you. She enters the room and says we’re ready, but she doesn’t speak to you specifically that made me a little nervous. I wanted to see her face-to-face. After the procedure she comes to quickly tell you the results of how it went and it’s very brief. It’s maybe less than 30 seconds otherwise she’s very professional and very slow and thorough.

    She was very thoughtful with my colonoscopy scheduling. The prior doctor did not reschedule one for a 3 year follow up after plops were removed. we do not know what happen to the prior doctor. Georgia noticed I was a year pass due, Georgia scheduled one ASAP.
