I first saw Dr 'Soco' a couple of months ago.
I don't know that I have Ever had a doctor sit on a stool, pull up and look me right in the eye, and Really Listen to what I was saying the way he did.  Some Labs were drawn before I saw him, and after Listening Intently.... without hesitation, he knew Exactly what additional labs to order.  
I Was Impressed!!   
The follow-up visit went a lot quicker... No news is Good News!!  Thank goodness, the labs for the reason I went to see him all came out good, and the additional labs were okay too.  Follow up visits are scheduled, which I'm sure are precautionary.  If I ever have any need for the type of care he trained so hard to do... I would feel Very Confident, knowing I'd be well taken care of❣️
