Jan 01, 2019
Best experience in a doctor's office. This doctor is the definition of true patient care. True, I waited a few minutes pass my appointment time but this doctor took his time to listen to my medical concerns and explain in great detail my options. Now he is not only my primary doctor but the doctor to several members of my family and even neighbors. I highly recommend his experties and to trust your helth care and concerns to him.
