He explained everything about my visit and helped me understand what we talked about. He also was very thorough in the exam. He was very friendly and treated me like he cared and not just a patient.

After 3 visits I still feel as though I am not a very important person in his practice. The support staff appear to be too mechanical in their tasks and unable, unwilling to answer patient questions.

he has worked for many years on my health issues and has kept me functional when I first came home from Mayo Clinic. I believe I was his fourth patient in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He has me at my worst and my best and he is the best.

He is thorough but fast. He actually cares about his patience and spends sufficient time to know you, your history, and what you specifically need from his care. His bedside manner is genuine and kind, and I just can't say enough about him and his staff!

Same as above. This is refreshing considering most doctors just do the data entry stuff after the exam, say okay and hand paperwork for check out
