Because his staff works on getting the patient on trackand into healing nicely so the patient recovers quickly I would recommend Dr. Hartson as superior in his profession. He's very realistic and patients usually come out on top with his professional touche. I enjoy having him close by. He has a plant voice he can sing very well.
