I felt that Dr. Dobbs was genuinely interested in any medical problems I had. Our primary visit was more than one hour because of decisions being made about my medications and my care.

I liked that Dr. Dobbs is in support of me trying an alternative approach for controlling my hypertension through diet, exercise, and other methods that doesn't involve a prescription since I am able to monitor at home. Should these methods not work, he knows I will contact him immediately for a prescription. This also applies to my migraines.
