“Dr. Rose was everything I aspire to be as a clinician. I'm a dentist and so I'm somewhat familiar with meeting a new patient, getting them to help me understand where they are coming from and what they expect. Dr. Rose exceeded my expectations for his manner, his warmth, and how he was able to communicate with me regarding the choices for my care. I ended up choosing to have a small skin lesion biopsied--which he allowed me to choose after telling me that he really thought it was worth trying an antibiotic first. I felt comfortable with his recommendation, but he allowed me to pick the more invasive treatment and took a biopsy with great care and comfort from my perspective. He was efficient without seeming to be in any hurry. His clinical staff member that I met was very pleasant. Overall, great experience.”
