All right, so on the survey, I think the very second and third question, I accidentally pressed one, which was a no, when it was meant to be a three for both of them, the second and third questions. So yeah, but my appointment went very, very well, and I appreciate the doctor that I had at the time. So thank you.

From the person who I made the appointment with, to the end of my procedure, EVERYONE was EXTREMELY attentive, kind, professional, patient, and informative. I was so impressed that I immediately made an additional appointment with Dr. Wang, who, is absolutely amazing. I haven't stopped praising my Cooper experience and the GI team.
