Dr. Felinski gave a good presentation with graphics about three possible procedures and her one recommended procedure, but she left the room before my wife and I could ask other questions, and we didn't know whether or not she would return. Finally, her nurse/assistant came into the room to give us copies of the doctor's orders andsay we could return to the waiting room to complete other paperwork.
