Dr. Kao performed my colonoscopy and I felt that I was in capable hands for the procedure. She was kind and reassuring that day. However, during my initial office visit I did not feel that my concerns were being heard. There was a lack of questions being asked, lack of eye contact, and I would have appreciated more time to feel that my concerns were being asked. A colonoscopy only addresses problems that are already there. I prefer an approach of thinking upstream and coming up with a plan to prevent the problems from happening in the first place.
