A phone call would have been sufficient to let me know my test results came back good, instead I got charged 40.00 copay to sit in the waiting room for 30 extra mins past my appointment time, and I sat in the room waiting for 15 min for him to enter and tell me the results and was in with him for 5 mins. I will not be returning to your office.

Dr Starr was a wonderful mix of knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive
He has a gift for being able to clearly describe the problem you’re grappling with, the options you have, and constantly making space for any questions or concerns that the patient may have
I couldn’t more highly recommend him, both for his expertise and the way he related to and supported me
