A very sweet, kind gastroenterologist. She actually listens and takes the time to explain things thourougly and responds with empathy. It's not just a five minute in and out visit. The receptionist there is kind of rude and acts like they don't want to be bothered but the doctor herself is amazing. I would definitely recommend.
