Dr. Atkeson is very easy to talk with about your problems and looking to solve the issues. Although in a bit of a hurry sometimes, he always gets the job done and/or tests scheduled for you. He is very thorough and overall great Doctor.

I find he is as many doctors,does not seem to listen and seems to have already made his mind up on what is wrong with you. And with my family that is a real mistake...nothing is never as it would seem with us.
