It was nice to see him again. He was warm and friendly, but business-like too and took care of asking and answering medical issues. I didn't feel rushed and was at ease discussing anything about my medical issues. Enjoyed a nice conversation about other things in life besides medical. It was a very pleasant appointment time.
