Patient Reviews
Oct 11, 2024
I took my neighbor to him in early 2000s. We booth like him. I started going to him in 2017 for thyroid. Excellent care and I switched my diabetes care to him. Then managed to get husband in for his diabetes. He listens, explains why he thinks I should do things and knows what is happening. Best doctor ever.
