Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2019
He was my doctor for 22 years, I wish I could’ve taken him when I moved. Attentive, good listener and no matter how busy takes his time. Was always available when needed and I highly recommend him to anyone in that area. In fact I live in Michigan now and spoke with him about a health issue when in between doctors, he talked to me and called in a prescription for my synthroid when had trouble getting an appointment before I ran out. He left off with call if you need me.
