My provider has a very good reputation and is very knowledgeable in his field I feel very confident that he would give me the very best care in an emergency or hospitalization. However he is a typical strong man demeanor and could be a little more empathetic in listening to me. He is a great dr and I like him. But I wish he would be more compassionate.
