I'd been to a few doctors...
I'd been to a few doctors for this persistent stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Jayaraman was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue, not just 'stress.' He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time.
