The reason I rated my doctor so highly is because he shows how much he cares. He treats me like a human being and gives me the opportunity to communicate with him. He doesn't rush out the door; instead, he takes the time to explain everything regarding my treatment.

Being the first time that we have met, he was very thorough as we reviewed my past history. He asked several questions regarding past medical issues and we had meaningful discussions. He also ordered new bloodwork and a lab procedure to expand baseline data on current issues and past history.
