He is very thorough and thoughtful. He listened to my twisted story and told me what the next steps were. I fully understood him and what he was telling the path forward was.
Very pleasant and comfortable to talk too. Very truthful and knowledgeable. I felt that I was in good hands. Awesome resolutions. I'm so glad that he's my back doctor now.
