I came to get an mri and see the doctor. I never received a reminder for seeing the doctor that day and I didn't have it in my calendar. I was on my way home when the nurse called and mentioned it. I stay 3 hours away. But she did mention a video visit and I was satisfied with that.

Dr Nduom is a great Dr! He's always been kind to me. He listens to my concerns and addresses them. He's done 2 brain surgeries for me and I could t have chosen a better Dr. His bedside manner is incredible. I've had 12 surgeries and my other Dr's have been nothing like Dr Nduom.
