I have been his patient for a little over a year and have been well taken care of. He listens to my problems and is wonderful to my whole family even though I am the patient. He takes time to explain things to me and if need be makes sure I have the referals I need for other specialists. Like all people he has an off day here and there, but he is one of the best doctors I have ever had. I really appriciate that he even makes sure my children and husband understand things, due to the fact I am a homeschooling mom and have my children with me at every appointment. I have been very impressed with him and will hate when a military move causes me to lose his care.

what i dont like about him is that he doesn't spend enough time he seems like his in a hurry to leave and that makes me feel that he does't care about me.i want to have a dr that is listening to me and that he understands me and willing to have the time to care for me not in and rush and go.....
