Dr Al Drake is an amazing doctor, & I've seen hundreds with my ongoing health issues. He is extremely thorough, intelligent & caring. He even ran back out while I was leaving to hand me a card I had asked for but I had left without waiting to get it. He literally RAN. That shows care and concern. He didn't have to get me the card, and definitely did not need to chase me down by running.
