Nov 17, 2022
One of the best doctors I have ever met if not the best. Has excellent bed side manor and noes not rush. He has a since of humor which is very rare today. Very thorough. His nurse (Susie) and his staff is also the best. I am so glad to have found him and will continue to be his patient and will refer family and friends to him.
