Dr. Villa had already reviewed my medical records before he saw me. He reviewed the results of past medical tests and explained how they related to or did not relate to the symptoms I was experiencing. He recommended further testing just to be certain there was nothing underlying that could not be seen in the tests I had already had. He was very thorough and kind.
