Very professional when in session. I didn’t wait long to be seen and he was very detailed and thorough. I know this may be rare but he definitely is a physician that actually listens to you and takes what you say into consideration before recommending a solution. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, I never felt like a burden or just another number in the system I felt like a patient and I would definitely recommend him.
