It was the best experience I could hope for. Dr. Stephen was amazing and caring, as well as all of the team. I really appreciate it all.
She seemed very hurried. I was in and out in 10 minutes. But she knows her stuff. She found my lesion on ultra sound in about 4 seconds. I need surgery but had travel plans approaching. She assured me she would get my surgery done before my travel date and it is indeed scheduled. I am very grateful for that.
