    Normally the doctor exam is quite thorough but this exam didn't seem as thorough, for example he didn't check my ears, neck, chest. It seemed like a very cursory exam.

    Hi, my experience with my provider was exceptional. He listened, he spoke in my language, which is very simple, and he was very helpful when after the exam was over, I thought I saw another spot, and his nurse had him come back to take a look. And so it was above and beyond the power of both the provider and the chief.

    Hi, the doctor was very patient with all of my questions. He gave me a referral to another physician for what his practice did not provide, and he explained what to expect going forward from the procedure that he gave. I was extremely nervous going in, as I anticipated, worse diagnosis than what I got and he was just fantastic from beginning to end. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
