    One of the best doctors I have ever had, and (unfortunately) I have had many years of care. Flawless listening, engagement, thoroughness, expertise, warmth, and care throughout, including making sure that his team (thank you, Milo!) secured an urgent MRI for me and squeezed me in for a follow-up appointment immediately after. No long wait to learn results and POC.
