I disagree with any negative comments about Dr. A. I’ve been his patient for about 20 years and never felt he lacked compassion or professionalism. Because he is an expert in his field, in 2014 he made a decision to take an additional unrelated test for which I had been in his office. This test found an early stage kidney cancer which saved my life. I had my second colonoscopy this morning and the staff and Dr A. get an A+!!! Good doctors like this are difficult to find these days.
