PA Don Smith has been absolutely fantastic, genuinely. He really takes time to listen, then carefully and fully explains things from his ample experience. That sounds like it's a lot easier than it is. I'm an expert in Show moremy field, like Don, and it takes extreme levels of discipline to give someone still learning, the room and time to explain things without jumping in early to solve the problem and move in. Absolutely recommend Northwoods Family Medicine
