This was my first time meeting this doctor. His demeanor was pleasant, relaxed and genuine. He made me feel at ease before jumping right into my medical issues. I didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed with medical jargon. He is very easy to talk to. He made sure to include my husband (who was with me) in the conversation.
