Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2025
Listens to the patient. Explains the facts so anyone can understand the information presented. Empathy with the patient and realistic expectations. Visits the patient when he can and even called me when he could not be in the area to ease any fears or reservations about my Dialysis treatment. Great Physician. Love this Doctor.
