    Dr.. Schiff practices medicine the way it should be practiced, and often is not in these days of corporatized medicine. He and hisnstaff are thorough, careful, friendly, supportive, and never make you feel as though you are a thing on a conveyer belt, not a human being. Patients who are lucky enough to have him as their doctor (not "provider" ) are getting great care.
