Best Endocrinologist I know. I also worked with Dr. Knight and consideref it a privilege. He helped me in a time of need with a personal issue. I witnessed him in tears once, years ago, over the death of a teen patient. Underneath his cool exterior is a warm caring heart. I would always welcome a visit from Dr. Knight.
