Thorough, caring, competent. Nice personality. Takes an extraordinary amount of time with you and asks a lot of questions and answers as many as you have until you have an understanding of them. On the downside you may wait awhile in the waiting room because he does not "rush through" his appointments. However, the waiting room is a pleasant, windowed place with a flat screen tv (and you have control over the remote!) with nice reading material. (Not all medical magazines!!)
