Patient Reviews
Apr 16, 2020
Very thorough. Cares so much about his patients. He called my MIL when he received a report of an image to be sure she understood she needed to see an oncologist ASAP. He did not have to do that as he was not the ordering physician. He is very organized and tries to limit office visits only to those necessary.
