What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Well mannered and respectful. He was able to gather information both directly and subtly. He engaged me in conversation on current events that seemed off topic and inconsequential until I realized that, since this was my initial interview with him and I am a retired senior, he was probably checking how I responded as a quick, cognitive test. Respect.
