Although both "nurses" and the doctor did discuss my concerns with me, and agreed to my plan, they completely disregarded it when preparation for the procedure began.

I don't recall my post procedure conversation with Dr. Takatori in great detail, as the effects of the anisthetic hadn't completely worn off. However, I do recall her gentle bedside manner.

Dr was wonderful in asking the right questions and carefully observed information and items I brought. The non-prescription item (Biotene). It seems a change in toothpaste and that fact that my body prefers ordinary tap water vs water from commercial dispensers. My problem now is more Dry Mouth and Nasal issues than Acid-Reflux.

Doctor was very informative about the procedure, including expectations and possible discomfort.
