I don't know what the Gastro equivalent is for Best Thing Since Sliced Bread, but Ms. Eakin is that and more! This was my second visit with her and I am grateful for her care. She knows my case history dating back to when I first got care for US/Crohn's 20+ years ago and uses that info to help better understand where I am today and what to expect tomorrow. She listens intently to questions and answers in a way I can understand. Truly a gifted and caring professional on a team of All Stars in the Gastro dept.
