    Open. Listened intently. Validated answers to our questions. Promptly made a referral the same day. Kind, understanding and thoughtful considering my stage 4 cancer diagnosis and how that would affect decisions about the procedure we were seeking!!! Highly recommend and would gladly have him preform a procedure if that's what we choose.
