Dr. Drake has been up front with me about my disease and the treatment, but has let me know I'm on charge. We keep treating, or we stop treatment based on my wishes/ comfort level.

Attentive listener and easy to talk to. Listened to me speak with no judgment so it was a chance to hear his opinion on my views and my prior doctors recommendations and put in his own thoughts so it was a very well rounded consult leaving nothing unanswered.
