Patient Reviews
Feb 16, 2020
Great, great. Caring, answers questions, clear explanations and he manages expectations are a time when you are most nervous about what will happen. However, getting an appointment proves quite difficult. There is usually a need to reach out many times. Not common amongst other doctors.
