He talked with me for an over an hour. I don't think I've ever had a provider spend that much time with me to discuss my health concerns. He clearly laid out my options, asked me for my own goals, shared his goals, and we came up with a joint treatment plan. Again, he was empathetic and kind throughout. Typically it is difficult to find a provided who is both, Dr. Woodrick is.
