Best doctor I've ever found to help me with Vestibular Migraine. I've been searching for 4 years for a care giver of this caliber and I am continually amazed at his knowledge, experience, and wonderful ease with patients. Extremely easy to talk to and he actually listens and considers my comments. He provides the perfect environment for building a solid and trusting relationship with his patients. I would rate him well over a 10 out of 10 for patient care.

The 30 min wait was NO problem. He had apologized for the wait. He was obviously busy all morning and still spent time with me.

He was so informative and spent time making sure I understood what was going on with my ear and what the options were for next steps. He seemed to genuinely care.
