It was nice to see them treat their staff with so much respect. It was obvious that they had a good relationship with all of their staff members. One thing I love about them, is that they're always willing to ask for other qualified professionals' advice when they don't have an answer for my question. I never have to worry about them giving me a wrong answer just because they weren't willing to ask for help. I love that they are always more than happy to answer my questions, and actually welcome questions. I've felt awkward at some other places I've visited when I've tried to ask a lot of questions, but not here. When comparing them to others I have visited for the same condition, they are among the best I have seen.

If you are looking for an old-school, mainstream, by-the-book endo, then this may be your guy. If you happen to use ANY nutritional supplements or, God forbid, compounded medicines (prescribed by my doctor, filled by a local professional compounding pharmacy), then he will not accept you as his patient. I wish I had known this in advance, as it would have saved us both time and aggravation. He thought my low vitamin D (29 in full summer sun) was perfectly fine and didn't need D3 supplementation (yikes!). He said to be his patient I would have to go off ALL of my medicines (even my thyroid) and ALL of my supplements (I do take quite a few good ones), wait some time, run fresh tests, and then he would see which, if any, FDA approved factory patent medicines he might consider. He said bringing my blood work into normal range was more important than my symptoms! He was very nice in explaining this, and he did not charge me for my visit. Maybe by writing this review I can save someone else the same experience. Good luck with your doctor search.
