Dr. Powell was very respectful, attentive, and genuinely invested in finding a solution. He is efficient and yet takes the time to answer patients' questions and explain the reasons for the procedures he recommends. I genuinely feel fortunate that I was referred to him. He is very good doctor. I can't emphasize how much I appreciated the genuine RESPECT and care I experienced from him.
