It was a good experience on my appointment
Dr. Dorn is a caring person, who listens attentively to what I say.
Dr. Dorn was fantastic. He made me feel very comfortable. He was very easily understood, and I had a very good appointment with him.
Provider knowledge of past history n/a due to the fact I was simply being tested.
Very well pleased with doctor and staff.
The provider helped me with my current issues around my problems with memory. I scored 20 out of 30 for my time with him. He also helped guide me through some things that I missed. Overall, the experience was helpful for me, and I plan to keep focused on moving in the right direction.
Offered direction regarding the next steps for health and administration of my health.
