Got right to my options and proceeded with the procedure I chose! Very satisfied.
Personable, listens, picks up on your concerns, answers questions, doesn't seem rushed. Very much appreciated in this day where that, unfortunately, is not the typical healthcare experience.
He is a caring doctor.

Wait time was long no one advised doctor was running late more Communication,
More time to ask questions
