    He was very nice and listened to me. I have been to a few Dr's and they didn't listen. He understood where I was coming from and my pain. Most specialists just push you along but he discussed with me.

    Dr Cove is wonderful. He has all your films on the monitor & reviews them in detail, pointing out issues. I always come away feeling I had a complete appointment. It's nice he takes the time. It means alot. Some Dr's. Now seem so pressured to get patients in & out quickly. That makes for frustration & misunderstandings.
