Patient Reviews
Feb 10, 2025
He is open-minded (I’m reluctant to take some pharmaceuticals), he has the broadest knowledge base of any doctor I’ve ever been to or worked with, he loves to explain why he wants to do the interventions he suggests, he’s an excellent listener, very respectful and has an engaging personality.. For decades I worked in ICU settings in very large city hospitals, the problem with that is you become very specialized and you don’t get exposed to much outside your area of expertise. He was an ER doc at a rural hospital which put him in a position to see and have to handle a wide variety of illnesses. I saw him this morning and he handled multiple issues for me with great insight. I told him that he is the best doctor I’ve ever been to and he tried to ignore the compliment. So I said “ Take the compliment! I’ve been around a lot of doctors for decades so I think my experience gives me a good perspective and tell your wife ( also an ICU Nurse) that I told you that.”
