Overall a great physician. He cares about the outcome and well being of the patient. Even with pressure from lawyers he ensures he’s taking care of the patient first and goes at the right pace. He seeks to get the best understanding of the condition and the patient’s wants meet. If you want the right outcome he is the right choice.
