          I was so happy to see Dr. Esper when he walked in the room. He was part of my care eight months ago when I had surgery to remove 6 inches of my colon so I was happy to see him again. He spent so much time going over my CAT scan results and his treatment plan for surgery. I feel very confident about it now.
