Explanation

Dr John is an excellent doctor with extreme patience and professionalism. He was so fantastic at explaining both the procedures and treatment for bowel cancer that I grasped exactly what it entails. He was so kind and made me feel genuinely comfortable. He even discussed treatment which gave me a sense of relief should the worse happen. He sure took away my paranoia about having cancer. Thanks Dr
