Dr. Paul has been a great for me—suggesting I go to the Columbus facility that has the best MRI device which turns out the best information available. I had a great experience and appreciated Dr. Paul’s excellent advice. He is very good at explaining the problems and what the best solutions are. He i also has broad medical knowledge and a wonderful sense of humor! If I were to evaluate his work as a doctor, it would be an A+
