Verified patient
I've got some complex issues and he discussed in a great amount of detail (succinctly) what is likely going on and what needs to be done to address these issues. He spent some extra time to rule out some other contributing factors to my issues, which I appreciated. I didn't feel like he was rushing me in and out and listened to and addressed my questions.
