    I found Dr. strange to be very knowledgeable, and which automatically caused me to have a great deal of respect for him, explained everything very nicely. He took his time doing so he was not rushed with us. He answered all our questions and I find him very good Doctor. I think I would like to see him in the future to take care of this problem.
