Dr Starr is pretty perfect, imo. He is highly efficient but also very friendly - A rare combination in my experience! He's very open to questions and responds in a way that a non-medical person can easily understand. I'm grateful for his expertise, dedication, and attention to details of a (for me) very scary situation. He was so reassuring.
