Patient Reviews
May 28, 2024
Dr A. helped me get thru a pretty brutal experience after being hit by a car and was very responsive to my mental health care needs when I was going thru a challenging time post-accident. He’s easily my favorite general practitioner I’ve seen in 40 years. He’s friendly, funny, and is willing to discuss various treatment options rather than just sending you out of the office with his pre-determined recommendation.
