    He was good, obviously he's very knowledgeable, vetted and experienced in his field, he commanded my confidence very quickly. He forgot to mention one little thing. And actually, I forgot to ask the question. I sent him an email and he literally called me that evening himself, to explain things to me further. And that never happens! So yay on Dr. Narra!! he was extremely apologetic about not covering all the bases during our visit. [redacted]
