Dr. Mccormick came in and talked to me for a minute, asked the nurse a couple of questions, witnessed the scope that was being performed and expressed his opinion. He answered my questions to my satisfaction. This was a followup to my procedure done in August. The results are as good as can be expected. The team made sure I knew what to watch for. Unless there are indications I need them to address, I am back to normal annual exams. Life is good!
