Hi Lori, I feel your pain just like everyone who gets these emails. I do wish you the best. I read that you live in Riverside. That's a pretty small town! I actually grew up there and moved when I was 12. You might actually know my family, my grandmother's last name is Viall. I don't live there anymore so I don't know any doctors there but good luck at your next appointment!
