This was one of the easiest medical experiences I’ve ever had. I got there early, they took me early. Dr Riegler came to me and explained the procedure in layman’s terms so I had no questions. I can’t tell you how the actual time spent in the room went because I was so comfortable and out. The people who cared for me both before and after we’re so kind, so helpful and so compassionate. This was fabulous!
