    Dr. Brogan was so kind and genuinely concerned about my situation. He was very understanding about how nervous I am. He told me I could call anytime between visits if I had any concerns at all. He was never in a hurry, always had plenty of time to go over my feelings and concerns. Im so thankful he is my Doctor.
