    Fabulous. Dr. Harold was prepared as he read my recent reports and was fully informed of my concern I have NEVER had another hopkins doc be prepared. Ever. He listened and heard what I had to say. He did not use a computer. He used eye contact. Fantastic. I was ready to leave hopkins and seek medical care under another group. Dr. Harold is the reason.
