He is an excellent doctor,
Ive never talked to him yet when he hasn't been upbeat and positive. We go over any testing, we talk about any changes that are needed and agree on a plan. On my end Im taking notes of same. Our video visits are productive and seem to be the perfect platform to use if I don't have to have further testing.

They have a very good routine.
