Everyone took time with me. They understood my needs, my wants, and they were very curious about my condition. They wanted to know if there was anything they could do for me or if I needed to apply or tell them anything, I could easily contact them without any problem or hesitation. But everyone on his staff and Dr. Yoffman was very, very professional people from one to 10. Very, very professional. So hopefully my strength will come in stronger as time go on, but they left the door open, so if I need to contact them in any way, I am able to. Thank you, and I really appreciate it.
