Michael was very kind and certainly knowledgeable, and I certainly appreciated his counsel and trusted his wisdom. However, my doctor had scheduled me to see Dr. Zook. I feel if I was scheduled for an appointment with Dr. Zook then I should have been given the courtesy of receiving his medical opinion and advice that I thought I was going to receive and that my family Dr sent me there TO receive. Therefore, I left somewhat disappointed with my visit
