This is a man that truly listens to you and has truly changed my outlook on doctors! Not only did he ask me how he could help me, but he also didn't treat me like a number! Without a doubt he's a 99.5 in my book as a doctor! Ooo the .05 percent was the having to pay $94.00 to be seen and that's with the best insurance you can have !
