Very thorough regarding procedure prior to colonoscopy and shared everything he found including why, at 76 years of age I will need to have another.. great bedside manner., I shared why I had severe bruising -/ not from abuse but from falls and if he didn’t have to use any clips, I would an able to have another MRI in one week rather than in eight weeks. That was, I think, the first thing he told me…that I could have the test sooner rather than later!
