Dr. Wood's overall personality is one of concern, patience, understanding, kindness, and professionalism. He takes the time to actually listen to your concerns, address your fears, and make sure you are well informed as to what the problem is and how it can be corrected. His bedside manner is just awesome. And to top it all off, he's very good looking too!
