Hello everyone! I just got home from a doctor's appointment due to some back pain. Like always, whenever I'm in the clinic, my heart cant stop beating and I'm very anxious and nervous for no reason. When the doctor took my BP, I told her that I'm feeling nervous. She told me to relax and I tried. Th

Hi! I posted in here last year asking about Dr. Kinsella in St. Louis since I was referred to him. (Posted under a different account then - had phone issues and wound up having to make a new account). Anyway, had my appointment with him yesterday and just wanted to share that I had a great experienc
