Nurses were really excellent, especially Debby and Nicole, who I had most often. They knew what to do to help me with ostomy issues, and were more knowledgeable about GI issues than typically. Dr Dang is a star, very compassionate, a good listener and explainer, with a deep understanding of my very complex GI issues. His fellows also inspired confidence.
