I'm so grateful for Dr. King. My daughter was suffering with stomach problems for 2+ years. She would be in pain everyday and night. Our new Dr. Recommended my daughter should see him. I'm so happy to say she has been pain free for the past 2 months. I'm forever grateful for what he has done to help my 8 yr old. He is also a very sweet man.
