Dr Kannen was extremely knowledgeable and I could tell he put a lot of effort in preparation before the appointment. I really appreciate the guidance as it has been a long-standing issue. I have been to many doctors but finally feel like I’m on the right path thanks to Dr. Kannen.

I expected that when talking to an expert I would be able to explain why I felt the need to come in and assess what I would need to worry about over the next 20 or 30 years considering other information about my health that I wasn’t given the opportunity to even articulate (osteopenia, etc).
