Good listener, responds openly to patient questions while also focusing on his core medical agenda for the session.
Looked me in the eyes. Seemed to really care. Asked appropriate questions and additional questions that helped me. Was thorough yet not hurried. Did a complete exam as I felt all questions had been answered. I wish all doctors were like him!
