[...] I hope he knows what he is doing. However, I do appreciate him taking into consideration my messed up abdomen and letting me know that he would not mess with the other surgeon's work and told me about a plan to block the nerve from farther back. I liked that idea. I really have nothing about him personally. I just have so much on my mind/plate. Have a great day.

I had to cancel my appointment at the last minute because I felt unwell.. They were very understanding . When I called a few days later when I was feeling better they asked if I could come in an hour and they would fit me in.
