Could not imagine any better care and doctoring. Dr. James Bresee is personable, thorough, supportive and a very thoughtfully warm presence. I am blessed to be one of his patients.

Probably the best doctor I’ve ever dealt with. He explains everything right away before any procedure, then performs the procedure, then explains any follow up. He’s very personable and likable. My wife and I both love him. Also knows his stuff.
