Good visit, great provider. Only concern is that I had an urgent medical question on a holiday weekend, and when I called, the answering service never answered, so I was unable to get help.

This visit was great! There were times earlier this year when I called for advice from the bariatric program and I couldn't get a call back but that seems to have improved!
