    I like the doctor. I am appalled by the billing error. How do you threaten collections when you never billed me to begin with and billed for amounts collected.

    I got answers to all my questions and understood the next steps. Most of the discussion concerned the difference in a home test versus a colonoscopy. I now understand the differences and was able to decide which was best for me.

    I trust him, he is very gentle, he has done many colonoscopies for me and he was very thorough in helping me to manage my long Covid of the GI tract in 2022. This visit he helped reassure me that I would likely not get long Covid again - He is always up on the latest research.
