He was amazing! Upon meeting him I immediately knew he was knowledgeable and I felt at ease. He asked important questions and patiently listened to me. His diagnosis and treatment plan showed that he heard me and wasnt going to rush into anything which calmed my fears. I left feeling confident and grateful for the excellent care he and his staff provided.
