Went to the ER in early August with severe abdominal pain. Was admitted and stayed 3 days. The hospitalist, after hearing past history of ulcers, arranged to have Dr. Aranez perform an EGD while in the hospital. After the procedure, he stopped in the lobby and talked to my family about the procedure and his findings, and provided some recommendations on diet and some non-prescription items that could help. A few days after discharge, he mailed a letter with the EGD results, and said that the samples he took showed no evidence of H. Pylori. In the letter, he invited me to see him in his office for a follow-up visit, if needed. Had the follow-up visit a week ago, and he spent considerable time going over a list of symptoms and explaining the most likely causes of each. He again gave recommendations on supplements and diet, and had his PA provide a handout with more information. He is exceptionally polite and kind.

Treated while in hospital in August. Mailed test results with images to home, included letter inviting a follow-up visit, if desired. This was the follow-up. He explained the possible causes for all the symptoms, gave advice on diet and non-prescription items that could help with those symptoms. Very polite, very communicative.
