Quiet but very warm. Makes me feel very relaxed, like an old friend. Remembers all my family and personal events. Calls at home in person to follow up and interpert reports. Gives his cell phone number to patients and never minds when I call him, even in the middle of the night. this man has been a blessing to my family and we love him. He rarely orders test and has infinite patience with me. He explains things in terms I understand, never rushed. I can get appointments with him for the same day without a problem
