Dr explain everything in full details

04/25/2024

One of the things i notice was not only his excellent medical manners but mostly the fact that as he came into the examining room , he did not come to sit in front of a computer and write notes and never look me in my face. This Dr. instead sits on a stool politely in front of me and listens to me and talks and explains as he is looking at me , a person, the entire time. That is a true physician.🙂
