Patient Reviews
Oct 05, 2021
He is just a blessing for us. More than a doctor, he is an incredible being. I guess the word limit here won't be sufficient to describe him fully. As other reviewers mentioned very kind compassionate. Connects kids immediately as friends (50% illness vanishes right at that moment) We have special needs kid, so sometimes if we ask to do any paperwork, he won't even wait for assistance, he will fax, mail himself even if he's so busy. Hats off to him.
