He also was wonderful at explaining when surgery was indicated and what the markers for that were it was very reassuring to us. His examination was completely thorough and he explained what he was doing every step of the way, which was so appreciated. His approach to medicine is both one of skill and also importing knowledge to the patient about their own condition. It was incredibly helpful.

  25. I don't doubt his abilities, but the appt seemed a bit perfunctory. And the after. Isn't summary had a ton of boiler plate some of which was inaccurate relative to me. Z.b. It said I didn't drive at night. I don't remember being asked about that nor do I remember saying it. I DO drive at night. The report also mentioned some things being done that didn't happen many of these being things explained to me which were not. It sort of felt as if I should ask questions about things I didn't know to ask questions about. Hmmm
