“Staff was welcoming upon arrival - some more than others. Doctor took his time and seemed to be focused on our time together. Did not seemed rushed, which I appreciated. He is very blunt and to the point so if you’re looking for touchy feeley he may not be the one for you. But he was very thorough and explained things well. He was also very stern about the need for me to take accountability for my actions and for the need to make changes to my lifestyle ”
