We've been fortunate to be in his care from the moment he diagnosed my husband's Parkinsonism. He's extremely knowledgeable, kind, concerned, and has looked out for my husband's well being, as well as mine - being his caregiver. He recommends devices to make our lives easier and we can always be in touch with/him about issues arising between appointments via MyAccount.
