He makes you comfortable and develops a relationship so that it is easy to share concerns. He doesn't just tell me what to do but explains some of the biology and anatomy behind it, so that I understood why I was being asked to do something.

He is concerned and cares for his patients. Most of all he listens to his patients. He makes sure his patients are up to date with their immunizations. He follows up with questionable bloodwork.
