Dr. A is so prepared for our visits. He has already read my MRI results and remembers to follow up on any additional tests he asks my PCP at home to perform prior to my next visit. He explains the reasons for each test and prepares me for future assessments. So happy I'm under his care at Johns Hopkins.
