5.0 star star star star starI was given the time to express my issues and points of concern. I was heard. I was given full attention and a thorough examination. I need more tests but I am not surprised at the recommendation for them. My dr fully understands my concerns. He asked so many questions that I didn’t understand why were asked but he helpedMe understand why they were asked in regard to my condition.

5.0 star star star star starHe is very easy top talk to and explains all details of test results even prints me copy of my x-rays which I think is very import to carry with you in case of emergency. I like the fact that he personally knows my other doctors. And that he would also inform his personal opinion about my test results to my other doctors who know about my conditions. It always better to have a group knowledge when making a decision on what's best for the patient.

5.0 star star star star starVery kind, honest and took a lot of time reviewing my previous scans. Answered all of my questions and was as gentle as possible during my exam. Dr was willing to explain the issues to me and my husband and answered all my questions regarding the testing that is needed. Very knowledgeable and not willing to jump to conclusions.
