the best of the best, he is so awesome. you can talk to him as if he is a friend, i was 18 years old when i got diagnosed with lupus & was scared. he has helped me so much through all of it. i am now 31 years old, moved two hours away & refuse to go to anyone else. i make the drive back for appointments because i would not leave his care, he is the truly the best.
