He is so down to earth! He sits with you and listens to what you have to say. He is generally interested and cares about his patients. He is not on the computer while you are talking nor is his nose buried in an iPad. He is 100% present during your appt! Best doctor ever!

Very professional
Aug 6, 2026
Caring. Sympathy for a person's life and my own. And desire to understand, explain, and solve the problem, fight it head on rather than shrink away leaving a meager diagnosis without answers, to instead seek a diagnosis and explanation and help to fight rediculous and irregular illnesses and conditions and diagnoses. Whether he solves my condition or properly solves or discovers the underlying cause, he has proven his mettle as a doctor to care for his patients and fight for their medical needs to actually solve the problem and heal people rather than just throw diagnoses and no help at them and run. Need more doctors and medical professionals willing to do that. To act as proactive healers not just people who put labels and stop short of figuring out and fixing problems.
He does a good job and glad for him.
