          Hi. We saw Dr. Amy Bruzek. She was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, took her time. She took a lot of time to explain everything and feel very comfortable moving forward with our plan. Thank you. Bye.

          They are very thorough with what our next step is and have good recommendations. Video call didn't work but they called and was able to get my sister connected on call to see if there was any questions she had if I didn't think of any.
