It makes me so sad to see this practice come to an end. You couldn't ask for a better doctor with the best bed side manner and genuinely is concerned about your well being and mental state. He genuinely cares about what's Show moregoing on with you and how he can help assist you with anything you may be struggling with at that time. I've never had a doctor that I was so completely happy with like this place. I pray that they are able to get back on their feet with a better billing team behind them.
