Before today,Äôs visit, I had only met with Dr. Poole once, and that was over 3 months ago. When I met with him this morning, he remembered our first meeting and had a great understanding of my medical condition and history. He seemed to have a genuine concern for my health and wellbeing. I was very pleased.

Hes a very good man. I believe he genuinely cares. Not just his day job. His intelligence, experience and his ability to speak to a patient is very beneficial to me, obviously.
