Carilion Clinic Family Medicine - Bedford
“I consulted Dr. Haley Hammond for abdominal pains I had on my right side. I had this problem a few years ago, yet got only blood tests which turned out good. Dr. Hammond ordered an ultrasound scan. When the results were inconclusive, she ordered an MRI. The MRI discovered small gall stones in my bile duct that the ultrasound could not image. In addition to the gall stones, a 10mm pancreatic cyst was discovered. I will have a follow up MRI next year to examine the cyst, which could be the early stage of a serious problem that often gets diagnosed too late to heal.
Dr. Hammond will listen to you.”
