Very attentive gave direct eye contact was pleasant and patient and addressed all of my needs. He was simultaneously training others and made sure to explain to them everything he discussed with me.
For the first time ever when getting a procedure done to my hands I was treated with the upmost care. Dr. Drake’s first concern was making sure I was comfortable and pain free as he talked to me and told me step by step what he was doing. I really appreciate that and will return next week for my other hand without hesitation! ❤️❤️❤️
