Patient Reviews
Apr 20, 2017
He is a WONDERFUL doctor. He is very knowledgeable and knows what he is talking about. There were prev. doctors who didn't know what they were doing when it came to my 1 year old's health. Im the type of person to ask tons of questions and when I ask him questions I get a clear and very straight forward answer. The only slight issue I had was with giving him shots. My family and I don't do vaccinations and he highly recommends that my son gets them but I would like for him to accept my adamancy.
