The provider does not rush me and takes the time to listen to me. He is actively trying to come up with treatment options and considers my thoughts on them. He responds to messages I send it MyChart and responds very quickly. I feel like he cares and truly wants to find ways to relieve my pain. This provider started a couple years ago since my previous provider left. I am so happy he did because I really like this provider so much better! I would definitely recommend him!
