Dr Kendall was very thoughtful and it seemed like he genuinely cared. He gave me options and explained things respectfully. So far I'm glad I opted for the doc 50 miles from my house!

UofU Patient November 22, 2020

Dr. Kendall is very thoughtful and thorough; he "saved" me in 1919 when my back was so bad that I could walk only on flat surface for a short period of time; went to a chiropractor and PT without success; he found my SI problem, gave me an injection, and I have been doing pretty well ever since; this summer, I had a couple of problems but he was able to help me again with exercise and advice what to do and what not to do.

Dr Kendall was sooo amazing! after having terrible post operative care from my surgeons office and being in pain straight for 4.5 months after surgery and allergic to Lyrica, Dr Kendall pinpointed my pain and compared it to the mri and gave me all the answers I had been looking for for so long! it seems like the surgeons office didn't care about my pain after surgery but didn't have the sense to send me to someone who would have answers! Dr Kendall explained everything and is a great detective!!!

I did not feel that the physician was interested in my being there. Mine was a workers comp claim and all of my visits with the providers at the Occupational Clinics have not been a good experience. I felt like the interests were more for workers comp and not my best interests. I would never come back to the UofU clinics/providers nor would I recommend them to anyone.

UofU Patient June 29, 2018

I trust Dr. Kendell's help and diagnostic acumen.

UofU Patient June 15, 2018

He listened and asked questions and did assessments. Need additional tests at this point. no diagnosis yet.

UofU Patient June 02, 2018

Dr Kendall always talks with me for several minutes about how I have felt since my last visit then explains what he thinks is best and asks if that is agreeable to me. I asked him about a treatment a friend suggested and he explained the outcome. I decided not to try it and feel good about that decision and his comments.

UofU Patient May 18, 2018

Dr. Kendall is the best anyone could ask for!

UofU Patient April 18, 2018

Dr. Kendall took time to listen, checked records/x-rays & answered questions. Excellent care.

UofU Patient April 06, 2018

Dr Kendall addresses my concerns even if not relayed to my back for which I'm seen for I was having a problem with an MRI in went into great detail explaind what the findings were and also made it possible for my insurance to cover my MRI which was denied because of the way the results were sent and saved me a huge bill

UofU Patient April 01, 2018

I've been seeing Dr Kendall since the Ortho clinic was opened.

UofU Patient March 27, 2018

very impressed with the whole visit. Dr. Kendall was very good.

UofU Patient March 26, 2018

Dr. Richard Kendall is simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UofU Patient March 24, 2018

Dr Kendall consistently presents as knowledgeable, cordial, patient, and informative.

UofU Patient March 17, 2018

Dr. Kendall is an outstanding provider. In addition to being an excellent diagnostician he is also a great listener. These are two qualities that guarantee patients will receive quality care - which I did. I have already recommended him to 2 friends.

UofU Patient March 12, 2018

Unfortunately, Dr. Kendall doesn't seem very interested in seeing patients or in answering their questions. His PA sees you first, conducts the exam, and listens to your symptoms. She then goes into the hall and relays her findings and your symptoms to Dr. Kendall. (This seems rather counter-productive, and it reminded me of the old game "telephone.") Dr. Kendall then walks into the room, summarizes what the PA already told you and leaves. He spent under five minutes with me. I feel disappointed.

UofU Patient March 12, 2018

excellent provider, always takes the time it takes whether it is his last appointment of the week on Friday at 445 or 2 pm on a Tuesday...never makes me feel rushed...always takes the time to explain, listen and shows compassion.

UofU Patient March 09, 2018

Dr. Kendall has shown sincere interest in my concerns and has helped me to resolve all my questions.

UofU Patient November 13, 2017

every visit has been a great experience

UofU Patient November 01, 2017

I do not feel like I had enough time with the care provider to get his history of care and how long he has been practicing in this field. I have good faith his choices are for my best interests but this is a new experience for me.

UofU Patient October 29, 2017

Excellent physician

UofU Patient October 25, 2017

I received MyChart notes for this visit and I was confused by the input. I told the student it was a little better after PT but it made me miserable way more than I could ignore. The chart note said I was feeling much better (Dr..Kendall's chart note.) I had just come from my PT appointment and I told the student I had been up since 4 am in extreme pain in my center/right upper back area. I had been to PT and the PT notes show this. The PT made every effort to help me but we did not do the regular exercises we had been doing because the pain was so intense. It concerns me because I am sure my other doctors refer to previous notes and I have had this pain off and on since my accident. Dr. Kendall told me I did not need to return unless in the future I had other issues. I appreciate Dr. Kendall's efforts to help me during this extremely painful event.

UofU Patient October 24, 2017

good

UofU Patient October 16, 2017

He gave me my options after going over my MRI with me and answered all of my questions and we scheduled my injections right then and there. Awesome!

UofU Patient September 13, 2017

I recommend Dr. Kendall to everyone I know that needs a good spine and neck doctor. He is always helpful and I leave there knowing I am in good care!

UofU Patient August 28, 2017

I was coming to Dr Kendall for advice and I felt like the pre med student did more as far as the examination went and basically told Dr Kendall. I felt like in our discussion that he didnt offer much counseling and advice as to what I should do, he just kept asking what i wanted to do. Left feeling like I didnt accomplish much

UofU Patient August 15, 2017

good experience

UofU Patient July 24, 2017

He didn't seem to care, or think that my problems were that big of a deal, like my pain isn't as bad as it really is. He also seemed to act as though these problems are my fault.

UofU Patient May 16, 2017

Richard Kendall has been most informative about diagnosis and treatments available.

UofU Patient May 06, 2017

Never got his opinion on my condition and what prognosis for future issues. But he gave me information that my previous dr did not so I am happy with that.

UofU Patient March 30, 2017

I was treated very poorly by the Doctor and was not happy. I left the office after my first visit in tears. Didn't feel very good about the Dr. on my second visit either. I also let the Resident Dr. know I was very upset about how I was treated. But I am not happy with Dr. Kendall whatsoever.

UofU Patient March 20, 2017

outstanding care and service. Drs and staff were truly excellent

UofU Patient March 04, 2017

Dr. Kendall is very helpful and always listens to my concerns. I have found him to be very thorough and he explains things in a way that helps me deal with my back and neck problems. In my opinion he goes much further than expected to make sure I have the necessary care and he is so patient with me. His expertise has been very beneficial. I would recommend him 100%! I feel fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and pleasant doctor.

UofU Patient February 06, 2017

All the way around (except for the appointment glitch) this was a very positive experience.

UofU Patient January 14, 2017

I am so impressed with Dr. Kendall. He always gives me so much information that is helpful. I have never had a doctor that has been so thorough and complete in providing me with information and a treatment plan for his diagnosis. I feel very fortunate to have him as my doctor. He goes far beyond what I have ever expected from a physician. He takes the time to listen, and answers any questions I might have. He is amazing in his ability to diagnose problems, is very pleasant and treats me with respect.

UofU Patient January 03, 2017

Dr K. is a real asset to you. Make it worth his while to stay at the clinic.

UofU Patient December 14, 2016

I had a great experience with Dr. Kendall. He listened well, made me fell like my problem was important and he came up with some great insights into the problem. He inspired trust.

UofU Patient November 27, 2016

Dr Kendall did a great job explaining injection, any future injections and option of surgery to me.

UofU Patient October 11, 2016

Dr Kendall appears to be ernestly trying to solve my problem. Medications not working but not his fault.

UofU Patient October 03, 2016

On my first visit Dr. Kendall told me I have a condition called Klipple Fiel which of course I went home and googled. I was horrified by what i read and just couldn't believe it but thought if that gave me an answer to my headaches maybe it was true. On my second visit he said nothing about that but told me something different, when I asked him about it he said, no you don't have that. I wish he wouldn't have thrown that diagnosis out at me so casually on my first visit. To a patient diagnoses doctors give are taken seriously, at least by me, and it really scared me. Other than that Dr. Kendall is wonderful. I really like him. I did NOT like the PA who was working with him! She was abrupt, sharp and not gentle at all with my neck which is extremely sore. I won't let her touch me again. She has zero bedside manner.

UofU Patient October 02, 2016

Dr. Kendall is excellent!

UofU Patient September 27, 2016

I was impressed that the doctors were concerned with how I felt about possible treatments foor my situation.

UofU Patient September 20, 2016

very,very good experience

UofU Patient September 19, 2016

For follow up instructions: It would be great to have a printout or resource list of websites/books for physical therapy exercises to do at home. The MD described one exercise I can do, I would have liked more info.

UofU Patient September 06, 2016

very helpful

UofU Patient August 21, 2016

Dr. Kendall and Dr. Powell are at the top of my book and are VERY caring!!

UofU Patient August 17, 2016

I was very impressed with Dr. Kendall

UofU Patient June 15, 2016

I will drive the two and a half hours to receive the wonderful care I am receiving!! IF we were able to receive the care, the courtesy and so much more, I would stay closer to home. I love your clinic, everyone who works there and my doctors!

UofU Patient June 01, 2016

My next experience will be the telling on when I see if I can get relief from the procedure. I feel confident that it will help me.

UofU Patient May 24, 2016

I think that my frustration with my appointment was that after the initial evaluation by the resident/doctor #1, Dr. Kendell came into the exam room and asked me what to do as far as a next step. I'm not the doctor and I don't know what the best solution is to my problem; I made the appointment so that the doctor can tell me what to do next. The 1st doctor that evaluated me told me that my x-ray from 3 years ago looked normal, whereas Dr. Kendell said that the x-ray showed some ware and tare. It's the inconsistent message between the doctors and them relaying on me for direction was not what I expected to get from a specialist.

UofU Patient May 20, 2016

just didimt seem to really hear me and really understand that my pain is really bad

UofU Patient May 18, 2016

I realized after I left that the doctor(s) had not mentioned my prescription drug and whether or not I should continue to take it. I will have to make a phone call to determine that information and ask for a refill if needed.

UofU Patient May 13, 2016

goid

UofU Patient May 09, 2016

dr Kendall was great

UofU Patient April 25, 2016

Dr Kendall is awesome! He answered all my questions and provided me with valuable information about my spine. Thank you Dr Kendall!

UofU Patient April 23, 2016

the treatment given has not taken care of my problem.

UofU Patient March 22, 2016

I finally have a doctor who explained completely and thoroughly what is going on with me and what I will probably be looking at for relief. Thank you Dr. Kendall!

UofU Patient March 15, 2016

Dr. K suggested that I would receive a call on Monday to set me up with an appointment with Dr. Russell (?) I''ve been waiting two days....

UofU Patient February 29, 2016

i am aware that docs are busy, and i felt that time was adequate but would always appreciate more and not feel rushed to get everything out

UofU Patient February 08, 2016

Dr. Kendall is great. He is considerate of my concerns, and is really good at explaining things.

UofU Patient February 07, 2016

moving on to new solutions waste of time

UofU Patient January 11, 2016

I liked and trusted Dr Kendall. Unfortunately, he was not able to help me with the problem I came in to see him about.

UofU Patient December 18, 2015

Very good experience with Dr. Kendall, who was concerned and answered all of my question very caringly and professionally.

UofU Patient November 28, 2015

Dr. Kendall was friendly,a good listener,explained his thinking about my condition very well and showed me on an enlargement of the CT scan why an MRI was necessary to pinpoint the cause of my pain.

UofU Patient November 14, 2015

Very knowledgeable--very professional and respectfull.

UofU Patient November 10, 2015

Excellent, kind, patient, and real help in fixing the problem. Spent about 20 min with me to insure I had the information to make a decision on what to do next with my SI joint.

UofU Patient September 21, 2015

Dr. Kendall was outstanding. He was not rushed and took plenty of time to review my xrays and the treatment to come. This in addition to discussing which PT clinic to attend. I'd highly recommend Dr. Kendall to others seeking treatment.

UofU Patient July 20, 2015

I trust Dr Kendall's opinion and idea's. He doesn't beat around the bush when telling you what you're stuck with for life. He is a very good orthopedic specialist.

UofU Patient June 25, 2015

I really like Dr. Kendall but I may not be able to keep seeing him given the track record of difficulty getting in to see him and then having him double scheduled like this.

UofU Patient March 28, 2015

Dr Kendall has grown on me. In a good way, he took time to listen to my concerns and explain things in human terms which means the world to me.

UofU Patient March 09, 2015

listens to all concerns; very thorough in explanations

UofU Patient March 05, 2015

Dr. Kendall is is a straight forward doctor who cares about your total well-being, not just the orthapedic issues.

UofU Patient March 05, 2015

Dr. Kendall is fantastic at explaining all of my options and letting me help decide the course of treatment. He is also very good at explaining procedures and their likelihood of possible results and or drawbacks. It has been my first really great experience with an orthopedic physician. Thank you Dr. Kendall!

UofU Patient January 20, 2015

My only comment is I had an appointment with Dr Kendall and initially a Fellow came in and I basically started from scratch. she wanted to change meds. Dr Kendall came in and we got back to PT no med changes.

UofU Patient December 13, 2014

Dr Kendall was superb; more knowledgeable about post-polio than any doctor I've previously met with; he listened well, seemed unhurried and willing to talk as long as I had questions. His explanations were very clear; pleasant interactions. I have already recommended him to another

UofU Patient November 24, 2014

He is an exceptional doctor/person. He has made a big impact increasing my quality of life by eliminating the pain in my spine. His technical skill is perfection. His compassion is genuine.

UofU Patient November 03, 2014

Dr. Kendall takes the time to and educate his patients.

UofU Patient November 03, 2014

Dr. Kendall is an excellent care provider. He is knowledgeable and explains complicated information in a way I can understand, which is appreciated. I know I am in good hands with Dr. Kendall.

UofU Patient October 23, 2014

DR Kendall was excellent. Nice "bedside manner" !

UofU Patient October 20, 2014

Should have come here three years ago for my back issue. Awesome recommendations and care given.

UofU Patient October 20, 2014

Dr. Kendall is excellent! He listens and he explains the procedures so they are clear and understandable. He treats me like I am an intelligent person. I appreciate how he is able to take the little pieces and figure out the bigger picture. I feel comfortable and confidant in his care.

UofU Patient October 17, 2014

With Doctor, Fellow, Med student all in the room with me, I wasn't always sure who was talking to whom, and what information was for me. It seemed like I was suppose to know what I wanted to have done - but I wasn't sure what the results from my MRI really meant and what options were reasonable.

UofU Patient October 03, 2014

I am fortunate to have such excellant health care and providers and I know I am in good hands at University Health Care.

UofU Patient September 05, 2014

I was very nervous, but they explained everything to me. and took the time to show me step by step my condition.

UofU Patient September 05, 2014

Very knowledgeable

UofU Patient September 05, 2014

Dr. Kendall. is the best! he has always been able to reduce/remove major amounts of my pain. I am very grateful.

UofU Patient August 19, 2014

Dr Kendall provided the most lucid and thorough explanation of the nature and origin of my back and hip problems that I have ever received. After decades of tests and treatment, including cervical spine surgery, I finally have a clear picture of the source of my pain that will help immensely in dealing with it.

UofU Patient August 18, 2014

I am Dr. Kendall's patient because he is the best, I always find the best doctor to treat me. I have multiple problems and I need exceptional care. Dr. Kendall provides that. I am very particular about my doctors. I worked as an OR tech at the University of Utah, I choose my doctors carefully. I have always received exceptional care from Dr. Kendall.

UofU Patient August 16, 2014

Dr. Kendall is the best in his field, that is why he is my doctor . He is my problem solver. he has always been able to identify the problem & fix the problem.

UofU Patient July 23, 2014

Dr. Kendal is very good and treats me like I am important He answers my questions and I feel I can trust him. He Talks to me about my back problems and concerns. I feel I can trust him

UofU Patient July 07, 2014

You can't find a better doctor. Dr. Kendall is great!

UofU Patient July 01, 2014

I really appreciate the input from both doctor and physical therapist. I think both having access to a patient's file is an excellent program.

UofU Patient July 01, 2014

I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. I felt that he wasn't concerned about my condition and did not provide me with any information or reasonable solution to my situation. I thought he was condescending, curt, terrible bed-side manner. I left feeling worse than ever and even got to my car and started crying because I received no help or answers to my pain/condition. It was a waste of my time and my money. I will not come back to your clinic and I will NOT recommend you to anyone else.

UofU Patient June 25, 2014

Dr Kendall is an exceptional provider and listens to every word. He takes time to comment on what he hears and his responses are genuinely aimed at your needs, never a generic response.

UofU Patient June 23, 2014

Dr Kendall was focused and alert to nuances of my explanation of symptoms and very open to exploration of alternative approaches to treatment (rare in my experience)

UofU Patient April 25, 2014

Dr. Kendall is great.

UofU Patient April 09, 2014

I don't think he thought I had a problem, but he did recommend some physical therapy.

UofU Patient March 31, 2014

Dr. Kendall is the best! He takes time, is knowledgeable, and instills trust.

UofU Patient March 10, 2014

Dr. Richard Kendall is an excellent doctor, with an outstanding office manner. Favorite doctor ever!

UofU Patient February 15, 2014

Dr. Richard Kendall discovered on a MRI scout scan something all other doctors that I had seen had missed. I will be eternally grateful as his concern led to a cervical MRI and a major surgical correction that could have been a significant problem for me in the future.

UofU Patient January 28, 2014

Dr. Kendall is an excellent doctor and takes the time to explain your symptoms. He can gave me a sense of hope and explained the next step.

UofU Patient January 27, 2014

Der Kendal is a great listener and shares his expertise in a caring way that I can understand. I highly recommend him.

UofU Patient January 27, 2014

These my responses reflect my experiences with the doctor, resident, and medical student. All were professional and appropriately personable.

UofU Patient December 26, 2013

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Kendall and his staff and his networking with others in near by health facilities to address my problems. Thank you

UofU Patient December 26, 2013

impressed with doctor Kendall bed side manner as well as his knowledge

UofU Patient December 18, 2013

Dr Kendall is and always will be Trusted he is very courteous and explains everything we ask I have know him for years, Dr Kendall has gone out of his way for me many times it is very much appreciated we are grateful and Blessed to know him.

UofU Patient December 13, 2013

I was very impressed with the amount of time the doctor and a resident who was working with him spent with me. I felt they were very interested in finding the cause of my problem and were thorough in their examination and their consideration of the records and images I had brought with me.

UofU Patient December 07, 2013

The only thing that I thought was not brought to a conclusion was medication. The care providers each asked me about medications, talked about several possibilities, but never concluded with what I should do. I also forgot to ask at the end of the appointment. I'm still not sure if they had ideas or alternatives that they thought I could try for pain management.

UofU Patient December 06, 2013

I enjoy the fact that Dr. Kendall is usually on time with his appointments, even with seeing so many patients. I also feel he addresses all of my questions and needs, and seems to understand my difficulties and hurdles in life to to my injury. Awesome doctor!

UofU Patient December 03, 2013

Dr. Kendall is kind and I am grateful for his skill.

UofU Patient November 13, 2013

While I did not have the same "bedside experience" as others had, Dr. Kendall was thorough, very competent, and I left with a treatment plan I hope will help.

UofU Patient October 28, 2013

I have already referred several friend and family to the UOC and I will continue to do so. I just love Dr. Kendall. He understands that pain can't always be seen and takes what I say seriously. Thank you!

UofU Patient October 28, 2013

Dr. Kendall did a great job! He was very courteous and knowledgeable.

UofU Patient September 24, 2013

Dr. Kendall lived up to his reputation of excellence.

UofU Patient September 03, 2013

the md was most cooperative, informative and close attention to detail...can't say enough positive about the experience

UofU Patient August 28, 2013

Dr. Kendall was great. He explained things to me that I had wanted to know. I was impressed with the care he showed in finding and explaining the cause of my injuries. I would certainly recommend him.

UofU Patient August 21, 2013

As stated before I was treated very well by those taking care of me

UofU Patient August 19, 2013

I appreciated the thorough explanation of the problems with my neck and being shown the x-ray and MRI images.

UofU Patient August 10, 2013

I have seen several providers at this clinic. ALL have been extremely caring during my care and have great "bedside manner"! As I have other critical health issues each provider have been aware and very attentive not only for the services they are providing dealing with my orthopedic problems but, have been interested in my overall health issues.

UofU Patient August 05, 2013

Dr Kendall called me on Thursday prior to my appt. He seemed genuinely concerned and was able to get me in on Friday. Once he got involved it seemed to help me get through the process.

UofU Patient June 12, 2013

Zabell and Kendall MDs were both very professional, friendly.

UofU Patient April 25, 2013

They did everything they could to accommodate me out side of their regular schedule i am an have always been grateful for Dr Kendall and when given the opportunity I have recommended others to Him

UofU Patient April 17, 2013

Best experience I've ever had with a physician. I've had 10+ broken bones, loads of torn ligaments and hamstring tears/pulls. He was knowledgeable and confident in regards to every question I had.

UofU Patient March 18, 2013

Dr. Kendall was very helpful and patient in answering my many question. I really appreciated this and his manner.

UofU Patient March 18, 2013

I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Kendall. I see him as knowledgeable and capable.

UofU Patient February 27, 2013

I would recommend my care provider at the U of U to anyone,im excited to see them again in Southeast Utah in 3 months to see how things have progressed with my treatment.

UofU Patient February 11, 2013

DR Kendal was awesome, he was prome, friendly and did not have an attitude like some of the other Ortho Drs. He check what meds I was on before prescribing anything me, which no other DR has ever done and knew about interactions. I would highly recommend him.

UofU Patient February 04, 2013

After my testing was done, all I was told was the information would go to Dr. Burke. So I really don't know if I'm going to hear from him or what???

UofU Patient November 20, 2012

Dr. Kendall always exlains and informs me very well....

UofU Patient November 19, 2012

Dr Kendall beats Dr Hansen by miles. lol/sorry.

UofU Patient October 22, 2012

appreciate the help

UofU Patient October 16, 2012

I have some background in medical terminology. It is good that they did not talk to me as if I was totally ignorant of things. I understand that the med-speak may need to be simplified for many but I also appreciate it when it is not presented that way to me.

UofU Patient October 08, 2012

the care that is provided me is the best.... I have referred Dr Kendall to friends and family

UofU Patient October 01, 2012

It was obvious Dr. Kendall was very well prepared to meet with me concerning my complicated problem with existing polio issues and now chemotherapy. I sincerely appreciate all the good information he gave me and the recommendations he made to help me manage during this time.

UofU Patient September 11, 2012

very good experience

UofU Patient August 08, 2012

I couldn't be happier about Dr. Kendall and his staff. They are professional, caring, informative, and much more.

UofU Patient July 30, 2012

The Dr. has always been a good experiance.I am confident in his help with my well-being.

UofU Patient July 26, 2012

I sm a great fan of Dr. Kendall! It is an honor to be his patient.

UofU Patient June 15, 2012

Last time I saw Dr Kendall I was in tears about my back/neck pain and felt very hopeless. This visit I was happy and hopeful that I could live a mostly pain-free life thanks to Dr Kendall.

UofU Patient June 05, 2012

Dr. Kendall looked at the MRI with me, showed me all the details and explained what I was looking at, and then explained about physical therapy rather than spinal injections.

UofU Patient June 05, 2012

Was probably the most informative appointment I have ever had regarding my back. My copay is $50 and it was probably the best $50 I have spent in a long time in a dr visit. I left with a great understanding of what was going on and how to move forward. They were also very friendly and nice

UofU Patient May 09, 2012

Dr. Kendall was caring, concerned, and gave me the attention I needed.

UofU Patient April 21, 2012

I have recomended several people to Dr Kendall over the years. I trust Dr Kendall

UofU Patient February 17, 2012

I have complete confidence in all of the Doctors who have and are treating me at the Medical Center.

UofU Patient February 17, 2012

Dr.Kendall is a very good doctor and has seen me for a couple years. He understands where I'm coming from, but the only problem is his outlook is that I can do anything and nothing at the same time. Meaning he is very optimistic about my abilities, but very cautious about what I should be doing.

UofU Patient January 14, 2012

I have been to several doctors about my pain, including another doctor there and MOST doctors just stick a needle in your hip and send you on y your way. It is very impersonal. They do not want to figure out what is actually going on. Dr kendall spent a lot of time with me discussing possible problems, problems that no one had addressed in 6 years. He has restored my faith in doctors.

UofU Patient January 14, 2012

The physician kept looking at his watch the entire visit. We felt like we were rushed with the appointment and decisions. I don't feel like all of our questions were answered or our concerns addressed adequately. We drove over 3 hours for the appointment and can not easily return for other questions or concerns so it was important to us to get definite answers while we were there.

UofU Patient January 11, 2012

He talked too fast. He used medical terms that most laymen would not be familar with, when I asked to explain, he talked too fast again! Frustrating!

UofU Patient January 05, 2012

Doctor Kendall is very learned and experienced in what he does. It's great working with him.
