Dr. Mcintire seems competent but not particularly warm; very clinical, and not very explanatory (e.g. provides a list of options with no explanation of the pros/cons, I had to follow-up). Speaks to me like a medical student (using terminology I've never heard of and I'm Googling it while he's talking to me. Sometimes I had to ask him to repeat the words he was using just to make sure I heard them correctly, to reference later)
He is very nice and seems competent.

I am certain Dr McIntire is at the very top of his field. I had to wait a long time finally to have my consult (video) with him. However, I am now confident I understand the right course-of-action to deal with my medical issue. For this I am very thankful.

He seems very intelligent and also patient. He also listens and answers any questions that I have. He doesn’t rush me and is always kind and never condescending.
