As a senior, I think this doctor speaks a little too quickly. He needs to slow down his assessment of people when he's dealing with older people. I give him a five but honestly four is the max I would give him. Seems knowledgeable, friendly and would probably go to him again. But please slow down when you provide your assessments.
