Dr. Lin has reviewed my medical history before seeing me and one record he retrieved from [...] shows that two years ago, CT scan reported almost the same size of uterous fibroid. This is important information as I didn't find the record before and have big concern on possible size increase. Dr. Lin pointed out my condition Is relatively stable through the past couple of years. This is a great comfort and relief for me. - Verified patient
