    I was disappointed with the doctor. I told her about pain that I have had for several weeks in my abdomen. She did not even examine my abdomen. In the past previous gastroenterologist always pressed on my abdomen if I complained about pain. I do not understand why she did not even bother to feel my abdomen.

    This was my first virtual phone visit ever and I was nervous about doing it, but everything worked very smoothly and her staff couldn't have been nicer
