He is kind, compassionate and caring but most importantly, he is a brilliant physician. I have complete confidence in his care. I appreciate the fact that he is involved in cutting edge research. This is my tenth year seeing him and when I was first referred to him, I had been told by my physician out in the suburbs to get my affairs in order. So yes, I would highly recommend him.
