Dr. Giles is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He listens to me and cares about me. He develops trust with his patients. Here spends the time he needs to understand everything going on and treats me like a whole person and does not address medical issues in isolation, and he incorporates information about mental health states too. I've referred people to him already and they love going to him for care as well.
