I was anxious about my progress and Dr. Crichlow was very reassuring. The staples came out quickly and without undue pain. I received answers to all my questions and felt like we had a productive visit. The best surprise was that the nutritionist just happened to be free to talk to me which meant we avoided another hour trip to Indy.

Not sure where the breakdown happened but I was sent to St. Vincent's for this appointment by the rehab center where we were being taken care of --- and that was the wrong location. I was not directly involved in this scheduling process but will be next time. This made us very late for our appointment but you still worked us in. So thank you for that, and I do apologize but we did the best we could with the information we had. I also did not receive a text or email confirmation on this most recent appt. which may have helped as well. Looks like we are connected now. Everyone treated us very nicely when we finally got there!
