I can't think of anything in particular...but I will say, that Dr Gurol always seems genuinely concerned. He does listen very well....and both my wife and I appreciate that. Whatever else one says about online appointments, I feel that Dr Gurol's personality comes through. I think that THAT trait, is real value-added with the use of on line appointments!
