Very personable. Took time to listen. He explained everything in detail with visuals and was very thorough. Since this was our first visit, its too soon to give 5 stars. Will see how things go after next few visits.

He is very nice. Very friendly. Makes you feel comfortable and valued. His injections are incredible. They don’t hurt at all. So great to have him at our location now.
