I thought he ordered 2 tests to be done right away, but only one happened. It was confusing.

IMP when you go to the doctor you want competence, discernment and an office that is efficient, professional and caring. I experienced all of the above. I looked into Dr Klavans. When I walked out after diagnostic work and a plan, I felt confident of the plan. That’s all you can ask for. AUI is a practice I would recommend.
