Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2016
He is honest and will say straight up what needs to be said regardless of its what you want to hear or not. He a compassionate side to him too. At first I use to get a little annoyed by his constant reading of my records as soon as he would come in but now I appreciate it. He takes time to make sure he is fully up to date with your progress... Which is far betree than other doctors. He is thorough and spends time listening to you and explaining things.
