    You are doing a fine job of involving your patients every step of the way. What they can expect, and clarify exactly what to expect. Treating patients with respect in layman's terms.They act like a family, and down to earth. I felt comfortable. I understand you are running a business not a charity. But you come across as people who genuinely care!
