Review for Dr. Paras
I had an endoscopy which was causing some anxiety, since I don’t interact with doctors much. The total experience was very professional from beginning to end. The appointment was easy and reminders were sent often. The paperwork was provided to prepare ahead of time. There was minimal wait time...
