Had an appointment with Richard Ketchman, NP and he was great as usual. Covered my health questions and provided me results and info from my recent esophagus dilation. We talked about me seeing my new gastro doctor in October, Beth ( ) at UAB Kirklin Clinic. He’s always informed and up to date on my information.
