Dr. Verhagen Metman was professional and courteous. He did not rush through my examination. He and his assistant Dr. [name] were thorough. It was refreshing seeing a doctor who displayed a genuine concern for my issue as a patient. Dr. Verhagen Metman explained the several treatment options to me to consider going forward and ended my visit with a plan of care.
