Dr. Billings is a very thorough and knowledgeable Dr. He made sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed before the appointment was over. His explanations were so thorough that they answered questions I had before I could ask them. This reassured me because I could tell he was genuinely concerned and invested in my well being.
