Dr Newsome, as always, has unparalleled expertise, the world expert in SPS, provides all relevant information and works with me in his field. He also has a strong breadth of knowledge about other medical areas and their potential interface with his care for my condition. He works and refers me to other physicians/evaluations as appropriate and is key in my overall care.
