My appointment was 11:40. I felt rushed, because everyone was at lunch, already. I don't remember him, setting up his equipment to what my new prescription is. I have to admit, I'm not comfortable filling it. He never got back to me about the test he had done. I really really liked him the first time, but this time, not so much!

I continue to be very pleased and impressed with Dr. Ranum! He is a very "down to earth" Dr. who is detailed in learning one's health and familial history to be able to watch for things the patient needs to be aware of. He tells the patient what he/she needs to know, and what the next step(s) is/are and lets the patient decide what he/she needs/wants to do.
