He's wonderful and caring!
He can’t do anything better. He is attentive, gentle, and understanding. He knows how to speak to me in a way that doesn’t make me feel crazy but rather in a way that helps me understand what I’m dealing with. Highly recommend
Takes the time to listen and goes over any new medication or switches with you so you feel OK going forward
