Patient Reviews
Jun 26, 2024
My grandmother has been facing some health issues and she was able to meet Dr. Read in person today. He really explained everything thoroughly as well as what to expect as well as the treatment plan. He sounds very confident and I am sure my grandmother is in THE BEST hands! He even lightened the tension with light humor. My grandmother absolutely loved him and she feels a lot more relaxed with what is to come.
