“Very efficient, in a good way - I told him what was wrong, he understood, and I happened to have a time constraint and he was able to fix my toe and patch things up at a high tempo and helped me make it to pick up my kid from daycare on time. But beyond my own peculiar circumstances, he seemed to be a very understanding and thorough guy. Took care of some things personally that other doctors might've had their staff do, showed more interest and made more small talk than maybe he had to. I'll go back to him.”
