Very personable straight forward and provided medically pragmatic treatment advice to what otherwise could be an expensive and elongated timeline for healing. Plus he obviously takes health/wellness seriously because he presented himself in fit condition. This is no normal feet considering a high percentage of medical practitioners present as obese and it’s difficult to take an obese health practitioner seriously when they are visibly metabolically unhealthy looking.
