Team was awesome and explained the process as well as what to expect. My appointment was for biopsy and I was very nervous. Both the nurse and the doctor was very thorough and reassuring. Especially appreciated Dr Moo-Young's handwritten notes and drawings as she talked me through what to expect and what would happen based on results. One of my best medical experiences. Thank you team!
