Dr. Schiano

I'm responding here instead of under my previous thread, because it appears that if I continue on the same thread. You're not seeing it. I've no questions at this time, just wanted to send you a Thank You note:

Thank you so much for the reassurance. Once again, you're such a great person & Doctor, that you not only respond so quickly, but because you also take the time to help others in understanding their medical condition in your free time. I'm very grateful for being able to have found you & communicate with you regarding my health issue. You've a great Thanksgiving!
