Every thing went well. Every one was very efficient Thanks
The staff was professional and courteous. They answered all my questions and concerns. Highly well organized system for all the procedures for that day. My only "do better" is provide an online registration site so not to have to do all that paperwork on arrival. Other clinics offer that service.
The procedure went by fairly quickly. Everything was explained to my satisfaction and all nurses were polite and friendly. More importantly the results were amazing. By the next day I was able to swallow normally without the difficulty I was having before. I am very satisfied.
