He wax wonderful to me. I believe he will try her to the bottom of my problem
Once I could actually speak with him, he was outstanding.
I was impressed by his concern, and also by his knowledge. He recommended a better procedure than the one I had asked for. He clearly explained why it was better. Also he outlined the next steps if the outcome wasn't positive. I left feeling very assured and in good hands.
