      Dr Pestana made me feel truly cared for and listened to! After 6 months of worsening symptoms finally culminated in a week long hospitalization while under the care of another GI. Here I finally felt someone paaid actual attention to what I said, read my entire history re this illness and determined to find actual answers to my agony!
