Dr. Gallegos was kind, considerate, and had a plan ready to go for me. The lab orders were put in quickly which I appreciate very much. He was apologetic when the camera malfunctioned on his end. It didn't bother me though. I was comforted in that he knew why I was there what would be best and beneficial for me, let me know what to expect in the future, and what our next few steps would be.

My Doctor was able to answer our questions and helped show pictures of my scan I had completed earlier. He also helped clarify about my next appointment. I also was informed about which Covid 19 vaccine was recommended based on my current circumstances. (I forgot to ask my doctor about Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, but during our visit, my Doctor did help me know which of the 3 versions I should have with regards to the vaccine.)

Dr. Gonzalez-Orozco, is a much better doctor than my previous liver specialist. he actually listened to me, and his first impression opened the door for trust. The former dr, had me waiting to die and damaged the little trust I had. Dr. Gonzalez-Orozco is helping rebuild that trust, even after one visit. Thanks to Dr. Incze for the recommendation.
