Thank you for providing treatment so quickly!

The only thing that would make the KH experience better, and I’m sure it’s impossible is more time to listen to him explain the processes. He is obviously healing many people so he has got to hurry along. And just to be clear he asks if we have any questions every time before he mores on.

he comes in with a positive attitude and always smiling.
