Practice Focus
Do you want to be treated by your doctor as more than a brain walking on two legs? My evaluations are comprehensive and thorough; personalized to your specific needs, not just as a patient, but as a person. I provide you with detailed feedback about your performance and take the time to address your questions and concerns. My goal is to have you leave my office, not only with answers, but with hope.
