I was so worried about what I was going to go thru that Dr. Rakvit was great at helping get me thru the process and when I went back about 10 months later for help with my heartburn she was the same Dr that I meant the first day. She was very helpful and made sure I understood to call for any problem I may have. For me just to keep in touch.
