Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2018
Dr. Short always takes the time to listen. That's not easy to find in doctors nowadays. Sometimes an office visit can leave you feeling like just a number. Dr. Short isn't like that. He asks if you have questions or concerns and he LISTENS. His wealth of knowledge is impressive. Sometimes we have to wait, but it is WORTH it. He also takes the time to call you back personally when you have urgent concerns. Hes an A+, 5 star doctor.
