Great doctor
I seemed to understand my concerns and acted appropriately.
Dr Jay Luther is always the same: he's well prepared and up to date on my medical file, he's professional and engaging, he listens carefully and never rushes the appointment. These are all the signs of an effective and successful doctor. I am lucky to have him as my gastroenterologist.
