See my previous comments. Dr. Sankey is awesome. Never met with a doctor who exhibits such patience and grace. He did not rush me - on the contrary - he answered each and every question I had, even though I had to have him repeat some due to my challenged knowledge. I can,Äôt say enough good things about him! I highly recommend him to everyone.
