John is very thorough and detail oriented. He takes the time to understand your concerns but always tells you what the best course action is for you based on the facts. In addition, he is very likable and low key and never appears to be in a hurry to get you in and out. He and his office personnel are great with follow up and are extremely responsive to requests for prescription refills, pre visit test requests, etc.
