Have had only one encounter and need further treatment.

Excellent, efficient, trustworthy medical care. The doctor took the time to listen to me, to acknowledge my concerns, and to explain the alternative treatments - but left the final choice to me. What a breath of fresh air in a medical environment that sees some providers seemingly driven by the bottom line on a balance sheet, and how many patients can be squeezed in every hour. This was a nice experience (again).
