He was kind and presented himself not as a obtuse doctor, more so as a experienced colleague. His confidence in my diagnosis and Recovery showed me to have faith in his suggestions.

Thought my issue was on the wrong side of my neck. (Was the MRI sent backward?). Does not want to perform surgery to eliminate issue. Referred me to another doctor.

I have not had relief or a doctor who listened to me and is so knowledgeable. He explains the issues so I can understand them and make wise decisions. I am very pleased with him and his staff for bringing kind, patient, knowledgeable, professional and always treat myself and other patients I have observed in a way that makes us feel like we matter. He has changed my life for the better and I trust his judgment. Thank you, Moniwue
