    Explained everything down to the minute detail. I left feeling like they really wanted me to succeed and not be a return customer. (And that is what Exceptional Hospital care is all about ;)!

    Very knowledgeable and confident in his knowledge of my medical history. Had a specific path forward based on me. He was numerous. Great explainer. Left the appointment feeling that we both were on the same page concerning my care.
