Dr. Bethke is superb is every way and by any measure. I have complete confidence in Dr. Bethke. i felt like he was really in the room with me--that he respected me (in any ordinary way--not a heavy way!) He informed me about what to expect coming up, and seemed to be coming from a place of great confidence and self awareness --but not in a weird way or anything. And I completely believed everything he said.

I saw Dr. Bethke that day and another physician (might have been a fellow or resident) She was very kind and helped me as I was in distress that day about my recent biopsy. Dr. Bethke was excellent and well organized and experienced. He helped me greatly and matters were resolved very quickly.
