Dr. Dirksen was very polite and professional. He listened to my questions and answered all of them, making sure that I understood and was satisfied with the explanation. I was quite nervous, as this was my first appt with him, but he was calm and put me at ease. I highly recommend him!

Dr Dirksen is extremely kind. Explained the whole appointment to my son who is 15. He didn't leave him out of it and spoke directly to both of us. He is knowledgeable and thorough. Can't say enough great things about him.
