If your serious about your kidney health this is the doctors to see. Extremely good bedside manner . Very knowledgeable and will explain your prognosis in terms that patients can understand . He spends time with his patients AND their family members to explain options and plan (s)of action. He is very thorough and caring . His office staff cares and makes sure to help you get what you need . Appointment times are punctual and on time . There is nothing negative to say ! I wish he could be our primary physician as well as our kidney specialist !
