Patient Reviews
May 05, 2021
He has been my primary care physician for nearly 5 yrs. I dealt with cardiologists and orthopaedists for close to 35 years. The essence of non-invasive medicine is diagnosis. He listens attentively, extends the visit until he has accumulated the pertinent information and solves the puzzle. He is a simply superb diagnostician.
