    He is knowledgeable and responsive

    Dr. Macrae is a wonderful provider. In a time when doctors are rushed and pt. visits are almost monitored with a stopwatch, Dr. Macrae took as much time with me as was necessary, answering my questions and responding to my concerns. He's very supportive and encouraging, while not being judgmental. Dr. Macrae is very knowledgeable in his own specialty, but is well versed in other areas as well. He's the kind of doctor we don't see much of anymore. I'm lucky to have him as my healthcare provider.

    I've seen this provider 4 or 5 times. Between the 1st few visits it was 2 years. Then 1 12 yrs. Now he wants to see me in 9 months, but didn't say why. I'm waiting to hear his interpretation of some blood tests, so maybe I'll learn something.
