Wow! Refreshing to have a doctor that doesn’t rush you, listens to what you’re saying, takes you seriously, AND jokes around. Loved him! Looking forward to seeing him again!

He is amazing. It's rare that you find a doctor that can explain exactly what is wrong and why. I trust everything he says and does. I have been to doctors in the past where that wasn't the case. Needless to say, I never went back to them. Dr. Rochester has my absolute trust with what has to happen next.
