Top notch physician that is extremely direct and to the point. He will speak medically, but should you need layman’s (as I do), he gladly provides that for your issue(s) so you feel better and have a much better understanding. You will walk away with plan of treatment, goal and leave knowing that you are in great medical hands.
He is not one to sugar coat, this makes him even more respected, in my opinion.
Highly recommended physician.
