    Dr. Speed is a genuine "whole person" physician. Doctors like him are hard to find and he will be greatly missed when he [eventually] retires.

    Dr. Speed had no idea why I was even there. He comes in the room and asks me what I need. I sat in a dark room for over 30 minutes because the lights went out.
