I was in and out within 12 min. Charged for a visit, asked for a simple test of my stool or a scan of my stomach. Was met with in fat and need more except use and that I probably drink too much. 6 months later I’m still in pain. Haven’t had a single drink for months. Was a very light drinker to begin with only have 1 or 2 drinks every 3 months. Wasn’t that overweight as well. Lost the weight. Threw up from a normal meal. This guys is a joke.
