    I feel extremely validated! I am so so grateful to Dr. Allred and Dr. Woodworth, who not only took their time to listen but actually took their time and evaluated me to make sure the test was done properly and accurately. For the last 2.5years, these symptoms have been bothering me, and I kept being dismissed by other providers and being told it was all "in my head." While the results were not what I had hoped for, I am truly grateful to now have scientific evidence and be able to prove to my primary providers, and even family that there was and is something wrong with my nerves. I wish I would have been listened to in the past, so it didn't have to get this severe, and perhaps it could have been caught in time to slow the process of the nerve damage. Anyhow, I am very pleased with the level of professionalism from both doctors and to receive their honest opinions. Thank you!
