Make you feel comfortable and was extremely knowledgeable on the subject.
I'm a nurse for 33 years of ER experience and I have to tell you he was amazing, prompt, respectful, cordial, informed. He reviewed all my records before I got there, clarified stuff, you know, information from other providers, above and beyond the call of duty. Five-star review across the board. He was brilliant. I think he's wonderful. And not that I want to go back to a doctor, but when I do, I will definitely see him again. He was awesome. Thank you for bringing him around.
