Very Happy with visit
He knows me and shows proper concern. I trust him above all others.
That the doctor treats me well
Excellent care and attention to the details of the pre op exam.
The psychologist was through and helpful with my therapy.
I was treated well and treated as an individual whose needs were dealt with accordingly, not as a number on a file
Punctuality
I felt Dr Fenton took time to listen to me and I feel the treatments he recommended were appropriate for my illness.
DR. S. FENTON VERY PROFETIONAL
My doctor is nice and does not mi d answering my questions
