Extremely knowledgeable.

Both of the doctors who I saw were excellent across the board. Friendly, pleasant, patient, and knowledgeable. They were responsive to questions and concerns and politely corrected many of my misapprehensions without being confrontational. I left feeling very relieved not only due to the diagnosis, but because I felt heard and respected.
