Patient Reviews
Nov 05, 2019
JR is one of the finest doctors anywhere. He is a brilliant diagnostician and completely caring for his patients. He will refer you to other docs quickly if he feels that’s the best for you, but he can handle most every issue here locally because of his great experience and constant retraining. Count yourself extremely lucky if he is your doctor, I do!!
