I come here simply for Dr Paulsel! He makes a long overdue annual physical/check-up(something I put off out of fear of hearing the “verdict”) so easy and not intimidating!! Excellent listener and provides valuable feedback! His willingness to reassure his patients by REALLY listening and not rushing/pushing me out the door, it’s comforting and genuine! I don’t know what I’ll do when he retires??
