Dr M does not rush time with the patient. He uses layman’s speak when answering questions, so patient understands. He reviews possible treatments, explaining why one is the treatment of choice!

Specialists can tend to be very rushed in appointments, and Dr Mehalik spent time to address multiple concerns and questions in a very candid way. He also spoke to the future of my condition as well as what to do today. This was confidence-inspiring.
