    Even though the appointment didn't go exactly as i was thinking it was going to go, he was very kind and made me feel very taken care of. He was very thorough in his explanations of everything which helped me understand why certain decisions were beneficial. He was great in answering all of my questions and wanted to make sure that I knew that he was going to take care of me and follow up to make sure that if my condition got worse, he was going to make sure I was taken care of!

    Most scatterbrained doctor we've ever met. Couldn't follow what I was saying. Didn't communicate well. Contradicted himself at times.
