"I want you to know how nice my appointments were yesterday! Bill did a great job doing the heart smart scan. Then I said I had a mammogram later in the day scheduled at Carew. He told me about the BDC there and walked me down to see if they could do that for me there. The ladies immediately were warm and welcoming. I wasn’t a bother to them at all, and it was even over the lunch period. They all should get a pat on the back for a great job."
