Patient Reviews
May 15, 2017
Greatest doctor ever. Cares very much about his patients. He's absolutely wonderful. I've recently moved to Virginia Beach but I will continue to drive back home just to see him. He's very trustworthy. Been a patient of his for around 20 years and I hope and pray he never retires
