      Dr Gurrola was very knowledgeable about my case, compassionate re: the lack of effectiveness my recent treatment and spent time to discuss options for moving ahead. He communicated with Dr Loftus while I was there and we developed a plan together. I felt included and listened to. Thanks Dr Gurrola
