He was so positive the moment he walked in! He listened carefully and was very knowledgeable about my condition and other issues that I was having. I was extremely impressed by the fact that he knew there was a connection between endometriosis and autoimmune disorders. That Information hasn't been out for very long. And that's not In his realm of medicine. As a 23 yo young woman I appreciated him listening to all of my concerns and thoughts and his appreciation of my research findings. A lot of doctors do not want to hear that a patient has done research on their own. And dismiss it. I never felt dismissed by him. He was so genuine! In fact, some of the research I had come across that I thought did pertain to the issues I was having he brought up before I did. And these were not common issues. So I very much appreciated that! I left his off feeling so happy I was referred to him and felt relief that I finally found I doctor who seemed to care and was going to do everything he could to figure out why I'm having so many different issues. I literally wanted to cry in the office from the relief I was feeling.
