It would have been nice to know any side effects. I should have thought to ask too. There was really only one option provided for us besides surgery, so it was hard to include us in the decision because we didn't know exactly what was going on.

I really liked Dr. Lau he is extremely knowledgeable and explained everything very well.I had switched to a new doctor because our previous one was very quick and short when explaining and did not do a good job helping us understand. Glen was the opposite and extremely helpful and patient with our questioning.
