My experience has been very good with this doctor and his nurse.  His advise has been excellent and I feel confident.  The only thing is I have some recall issues and need clarity so i ask questions to try to make it clear and stick.  He is a busy doctor and I have noticed a little sense of rush at times.  But for the most part I've been able to get my answers through his nurse if I'm unclear.  They are a great team.
