We are truly grateful for her kindness, skill, and support.Thank you for providing such excellent medical care.
The doctor did not clearly explain my illness to me, which was confusing. At the clinic, I had to wait for about half an hour without clear information about the procedure, which felt like a waste of time. Overall, the experience was fine but could have been better with clearer communication and less waiting.
