“Been seeing Dr. E for (gasp) decades. He's everything you want in an internist: thorough, straightforward and honest. No tests I don't need. Answers all my questions. Treats me holistically. Incredibly up-to-date on current conditions and treatments. He's also accessible on an "as needed" basis and very responsive. Plus, he's a great guy as well. At various times, he (or others in the practice) has seen all of my family members.”
