Very nice and informative man.
He is very understanding and explains stuff the way people understand. He works with your other doctors good too.
Got to the appointment 15 minutes early, had to wait 45 minutes past scheduled time. Nurse said, we are incredibly busy. Not. My. Fault. I told her my time was important too, and she looked ipset tgst I said that. Why? I am not a doctor but I hold a very important upper management position in a multi-billion dollar IT company. Do better - schedule better.
He’s the best doctor I have seen in my life and the best person and always able to talk to you and help ya
Excellent! Talks with patient not at him.
