    The doctor was very matter of fact. He had no consideration for the fact that he was treating a child who suffers from anxiety.

    My daughter has seen the same doctor for 12 years. He has always answered every question I have asked. He always make sure I am aware of what we are doing after every visit. I have told anyone with the same issue as my daughter that he is an excellent doctor. I highly recommend him.

      Dr. and PA did not listen to what I said or asked about. Made no reference to a brain scan I had per UK (last visit w/different dr.) could not explain anything to me about micro adenoma I was told about 10/24/2023 - I was told it was present and causing low T. This office visit I was told I had no such image in my MRI scan. Still nor reason for low T.
