The consultation and the actual procedures were great. Afterwards trying to get results and questions answered was very hard. I was told repeatedly that a medical assistant would call me back and that never happened. I was worried about the results and had questions about the medications. It took several phone calls on my part and I had to get pushy to get answers.
