By far the best practitioner I have ever had in my 53 yrs of life. No contest he is the best he listens, explains everything, takes the time to see if you have questions and he demonstrates genuine empathy.

Dr.Soisson is a very unique doctor. He stands out head&shoulders above his peers with his care, compassion and communication skills. Too bad he can't be cloned (although, who knows what the future holds? Perhaps that will be possible at some point). The world desperately needs more doctors like Dr. Soisson. I wholeheartedly suggest you give him a sizable raise, so you don't risk losing him to the competition. I love the man and can't say enough kind words about him.

Dr. Andrew Soisson is "the cats meow" in the world of doctors. It's hard to find a doctor who really demonstrates empathy and compassion for the patient like Dr. Soisson does. These are traits that every medical professional should possess but sadly, that is not the case. Dr. Soisson is a gem in a pile of rocks. He's a rare and priceless gem. My recommendation is to do whatever you need to do to keep him happy because you don't want to risk losing him. Give him a raise! And I'm not talking about some paltry, poor excuse of a raise. I'm talking about a raise that puts a smile on his face and on his wife's face.
