Patient Reviews
Dec 20, 2019
He’s the best physician I’ve ever had. I’ve been seeing him for over 16 years. He always listens and makes time for me when I need to see him. He always responds to messages through the portal in a timely manner. He has even called me before to check on me and see what I needed. He really cares about patients. I don’t think my condition would have been as manageable without him.
