Dr Aranos is very detailed in his explanations. He answered all my questions. I did not at all feel rushed by him to leave. His bedside manner is calm and reassuring and you can tell he is listening to you. He didn't talk over me but was good at waiting to answer until I was done speaking.

The doctor was very warm, very friendly and made me comfortable. He was very good at explaining my issues and his plans of action are, immediate and long term. He explained the need for the tests/ procedures he wanted done, separating the urgent and the not so urgent leaving me the option to do the not so urgent at my convenient time.
