    Best doctor ever. He was prepared, asked extensive questions to build history. Then gave an excellent informational overview about my diagnosed condition--including general information, causes, treatments, lifestyle, best and worst case scenarios, and then recommendations for my case, prescribed a test, and answered questions.
