The staff at Wellstar was very, very nice and helpful and everybody worked very well and the procedures that I had done that day went very well and very professional. I was a little bit frightened about things that were going on, but they made me feel comfortable and hopefully I'm on the men's. Thank you so much.

I don't think the doctor really understands what's going on with me and I don't think I'm getting the correct responses. So I'm a little bit scared because I need to know my problem is life-threatening and I don't think he understands that I'm really concerned. He's very nonchalant about the whole thing.
