I have been going to this doctor for years and am very pleased with his service as well as his staff. Most of all he LISTENS. When I had a death in my family he assured me that I could call him day or night if I needed to. He is truly a family doctor.

I have been seeing this doctor for years. He is polite, affable, kindly, gentle, and has a good sense of humor. He will admit to his shortcomings and will research topics in order to help you. He is wary of prescribing antibiotics, and will often suggest waiting and/or trying alternative therapies, because he believes antibiotics are overprescribed, but he'll give you detailed medical printouts on what your condition is and what you can do to get better. His main shortcoming is that he sometimes runs quite late (1.5 hours on one occaision, 20-30 minutes more commonly). His office is clean and his office staff are friendly and helpfull. He tries to employ nurses/techs that make the patient experience a more comfortable one. He won't harrass you if you are overweight, or if you want antidepressants, or if you don't want to vaccinate your child before age 4 or 5 (in other words, he works WITH you). His hours are great.
