Anderson Radiology Review-Best Radiologist in Town

My 6 year old granddaughter has been complaining of stomach pain for about 3 months. Nothing to the point that you would run to ER or anything. We have taken her to a couple of Dr's to be checked. They could find nothing wrong with her.
They gave her some liquid Zantac to make sure it wasn't some food or something causing her problems. It didn't help. She would be playing or eating or doing nothing,when all of a sudden she would complain of her stomach hurting. It was always the same place on her stomach.
Well we changed Dr's and I convinced them to do an ultrasound to rule out anything. If anything didn't show up on ultrasound they would refer her to a Gastric Dr. Well she went for the ultrasound this morning. They told us it would be 24-48 hrs before the Dr. got any results. So it would most likely be next week before we heard anything.
Well the Radiologist sent results to my daughter today the same day as the ultrasound. He didn't want her worrying over the weekend about whether something was wrong or not. Luckily it all came back negative. The Dr. thinks it is just growing pains that she is having. They were so nice to her this morning. They could tell that she was nervous about the test. They warmed the gel up so it wouldn't be cold on her. The technician talked to her all the way through it. They got her to relax and smile a little.
They showed her her heart beating,she thought that was so cool. They told her she could go back and tell all her friends that she saw her heart on a machine. They were really great with her. They were explaining what they were doing to her,so she wouldn't be scared. All Dr's could take a lesson about bedside manner from Anderson Radiology.
She came home and was telling her sister about seeing her heart beating on the machine.We were so glad that everything came out negative. Just knowing that we were gonna have to go the whole weekend and worry about whether they found anything,was very nerve wracking. But Anderson Radiology made sure the Dr. got them the same day so he could call us and let us know that everything was fine. Now we can all breathe a little easier thanks to Anderson Radiology. Thank you Anderson Radiology for being nice to my granddaughter and helping to relieve her fears.
