I usually go in to my appointments with a list of questions that are important to me. Dr. Patil seems to anticipate a number of them as he answers them as we converse. And any additional questions, he patiently waits while I go over each one and answers them throughly. He does not rush me not make me feel incomptent for asking them in any way.
