i will never see another neurologist after him. he's been the biggest blessing. i've seen him for almost 3 years and have never met someone so dedicated to their patients. if his schedule is booked, he skips his break. he is constantly researching even on days off. if there's anyway i could put him in for an award i'd be more than happy to
