I absolutely LOVE Dr Kristen Ban! She is THE best Dr I have ever had! And at 67 yrs of age, I've had quite a few! She sat down and discussed what she was looking for during my anal exam, my prognosis, and how often I would be having appts in the hereafter. I feel when she tells me all is well, I am indeed headed in the right direction as we continue to monitor my anal cancer battle.
