Comments
"The doctor took the time to explain everything even events that happened before that contributed to this strokes affects."
"Very thorough. Very knowledgeable and able to explain complex medical issues in a way that laymen can understand. He seems very compassionate and down to earth. We appreciate that."
"My husband and I and daughter in-law where very impressed with this neurologist. He answered all questions and concerns and truly was very caring! I just can't believe the time he took with us and to reach out to other doctors who care for my husband. My husband said he was very comfortable in his care now."
