“I appreciate how Jeremy listens then works with me to come up with a solution. He isn't quick to prescribe medication, and when he does, makes sure I am aware of the pros and cons. He also takes his time to explain what exactly is going on and short-term as well as long-term solutions. It's hard to find someone these days who still takes the time to listen and really care.”
