He was absolutely excellent. I have a lot of health issues so I've seen a lot of specialists from Neurosurgeons to GIs to Cardiologists. He's absolutely perfect. This world needs more physicians like him. He's caring kind intelligent just a very good provider overall. I've met a ton of physicians who shouldn't be practicing. This man was meant to be a doctor, he's gifted. Amen.
