I was very happy with the treatment I received from Dr. Rhee. He reassured me that even though some of the blood work showed some abnormalities, he didn't feel that there was anything serious to worry about. I appreciated that he took the time to listen to my concerns and I left feeling I was in good hands.
The best!
