Patient Reviews
Aug 30, 2023
Let me start out with I don't write reviews for everyone. I only write them for professionals who I truly believe are amazing and great at what they do. This doctor is one of the best doctors I have ever had in my entire life. He's very caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I was recommended to him. He has exceeded my expectations. When I went to the hospital, he called me later in the day after I called his office, to ask how I was doing. I can no longer see him because I am moving, but please know I do not just chose any doctor. I am HIGHLY selective because I have had a lot of bad luck with doctors. This doctor went to medical school and actually went to medical school for the right reasons. I will miss this doctor's thoughtfulness, care, and how knowledgeable he is and understanding. Thank you for being my doctor during my health crisis after I was going in and out of the emergency room during covid (never had covid) and leading me back to health. I appreciate you so much!
