@irishgirl2 Hello! I want to share with you that of all of the Drs. I have seen at Mayo Rochester in the last three plus years, and there were many, not one was unkind. I have had a kidney transplant three years ago, multiple GI procedures and a complicated upper GI surgery in the last year. I don’t know who you are seeing, but my GI Dr. is a woman and she is wonderful! I can get nervous about seeing a new Dr., but each time my worries were unfounded as they turn out to be very kind. Try to rest easy and give the Dr. a chance. I understand how being dismissed by other Drs. can cause those worries in us as that has happened to me locally, but not at Mayo. Hopefully, you will be pleasantly surprised!
