He just gave options and let me decide.All the staff like Yunique, imaging tech Raul , etc were very nice and caring. My only complaint was the long wait. But Dr Atkins was apologetic, which is rare these days to get an apology. Was worth the wait.I don't trust doctors especially after what the medical establishment has done in mishandling covid treatment and shots for money and hidden agenda.
