Dr. “P” has been thorough and thoughtful concerning a bout with a very painful leg muscle injury with inflammation. I know he listens to our conversations as he is able to recall our discussions easily. I appreciate his conservative approach to finding solutions. I am confident that this issue will be resolved.
