Dr. Chad was not interested in hearing my symptoms, cut me off, and was very condescending.
He kept me laughing, kept me informed.I'd recommend him danybuddy
Chad demonstrates empathy, appears very knowledgeable and competent. He provided a go forward plan for me that relieved some anxiety and gave me confidence we will be able to really help my back pain.
I find it difficult explaining my concerns/condition to doctor because he repeatedly explaining the technical details to me even before he completely listen my questions or concern.
