Dr Fenton truly cares about his patients and never makes you feel like he hasn't listened to what you are telling him. He shows that he thinks carefully about the course of action and makes sure you know everything about the possible outcome of any treatment he suggests. He found what was wrong with me, when no one else had and I believe it was because he was really listening and not discounting what I was describing about my symptoms.
