I like Dr. Christante. When she didnt' talk over me, we got along pretty good. The only other thing is for my gut problems we have a definite plan in place. It is just seems like it will take a long time to complete. I'm tired of being tired of my intestinal issues. I wish I could speed up the plan. I just need practice being patient. Thank you.
