Outstanding Doctor!
He's calming, assuring, and he listened. He's a very good Dr. And I'm thankful I was assigned to him. His staff Kaele? Is simply a pro with empathy and kindness
Waited an hour and 45 minutes past my appointment time. Consultation took no more than 3 minutes. Felt as though I was wasting his time. Maybe it was just an off day?
