Dr Nordstrom was right on time for scheduled VideoVisit. He allotted me adequate time for explanation of therapy strategies, review of recent colonoscopy, provided course of care for upcoming domestic travel plans & for future foreign travels scheduled 2026. He never seemed rushed & was extremely thorough in answering any of my questions

I was over an hour early. Saw Dr Nordstrom shortly after taken to the exam room. Easy to converse with. Explained my options. Low-key. No pressure. I was treated with respect.
