    Dr. Khor was great when you could see her but the Dr. that is with her currently trying to learn from her is incompetent and picked at me for drinking less milk than the daily suggested amount by the USDA. He spent over an hour trying to make me feel guilty for drinking less than 3 cups per day. This guy does not belong in a Drs. setting if he feels that I have a problem concerning milk intake and spends nearly his entire time on that subject.
