I was first seen by PA Raburn. He was extremely thorough and patient. He listened to my concerns. He made sure he understood my situation and provided expert advice. I have seen him before and knew he would talk to Dr. Dawkins before he came in. Dr. Dawkins came in. He was as usual very attentive and listened to my concerns. He provided me valued and concise advice. He cared about my overall situation as it might relate to him in the future. His comments are valued and trusted.
