I was so impressed with the time the doctor and intern. spent with me explaining my condition. They genuinely cared for me. This was the first time I had met my doctor and I now completely trust him. I feel he cares about me and my health.

I wasn't sure what to expect coming in (though I had spoken with someone who had been there). I was impressed with how thorough everyone was. No one seemed rushed or in a hurry to leave.

All the doctors I've seen obviously talk with each other and all are on the same page. They are willing to discuss anything and everything on the patients terms. I like and trust all the doctors.
