Very quick to diagnose somebody he's never seen before, couldn't even explain all my symptoms before getting cut off and being told it pretty much has nothing to do with what he does. I won't be returning ever!

Dr. Bresee has provided me with complete information regarding my health and recommended some new information that I may consider. As usual, he thoroughly delivered this information, leaving me without any questions. However, I do know I can reach him through the portal and expect a quick response from him.
