Most Doctors come in to the room and do there thing and leave. Dr Skinner is different. He explained everything. He softens the room by making me feel comfortable. Easy to talk to and you can have a great conversation with him Show moreunlike most doctors. No ego. . Made me feel important. His staff is incredible. The best part was he personally called me at 8:00PM to see how I was doing. 5 stars is not enough.
