He is the first male doctor that I have actually been comfortable with. I usually feel more comfortable with females, but I have been very comfortable with him. He explains things to me in terms that I understand. And if I don't understand, he does not make me feel bad that I question. And I have told several of my friends that they should see about coming to him.
