You asked about test results. I have not had them yet. I came looking for a second opinion. Dr. Ha gave me more information than my 5 doctors in Virginia. For this issue, Hope Dr. Ha will be my primary care-giver.

Dr. Ha is so good, thoughtful and respectful. She also went out of her way to assist me with another issue, unrelated to my illness but my family's health problem that needed to be addressed sooner than later. She's just genuinely a good person. I feel completely confident in her calm nature and surgical skill.
