Dr. Hood gave me not one, but two much-needed pathways to relief from chronic pain during my last visit. I can’t thank him enough. He is my absolutely favorite curmudgeon, perhaps of all time. And I’ve known some curmudgeons. But seriously, kudos to the best doctor in Newport. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
