Super nice! Listened to every word I said, I didn't feel rushed like some doctors make you feel. Would definitely recommend.
Very professional and friendly Doctor
Dr. Dove was kind, knowledgeable, & patient. He quickly observed that I was nervous about the conversation we were about to have and he honored that emotion by allowing it to happen. For that alone, I’m grateful. Thank you, L. Alexander. 1/16/26 apt.
He wanted to talk instead of listening. I promise he did not hear two sentences out of my mouth without talking over me.
He is caring and helpful.
Top notch physician. Very thorough and knowledgeable. He was willing to get to the root of my husband’s issue. Would highly recommend.
