Today the stand out among his support team was Alexis. I have a few procedures coming up and she explained the how & when along with all the joys of prepping for a colonoscopy.
The support team is full of stars. Alexis was my MVP today!
I didn’t leave my appointment feeling nervous, anxious or confused. I left the way we should after any Doctor’s visit.
Calm, informed and prepared for everything that lies ahead.
