Dr. Gary DiPerna went out of his way to research a pre-existing condition of mine so that he could provide accurate advice. In my experience, not many Doctors put in the effort to do this. It was refreshing and much appreciated.

I left frustrated because we didn't really come up with any better solutions than to continue on the medication I am currently taking. We discussed a diet plan, but I was told to Google it. That seems like bad medical advice because who knows what I am going to Google and whether that information is accurate or not. I asked for a pamphlet at minimum or at least a referral to a dietician or nutritional, but that was not given.
