Dr. Was very thorough and take his time Explaining my condition and letting me know what the best for treatment would be for me. Talk to me in a way that it was easy for me to understand and then when I received the follow up letter, everything was in detail so if there was some things that I had forgotten it was in that letter. I really appreciate that.
