    Starting from what he saw in the nurse's notes, Dr.Premo probed for additional details and clarification. Spent more time than usual with him because his previous patient was a no-show and I arrived early.

    Doctor Premo is so caring and doesn't make you feel like he's in a hurry to move on to the next patient. He took the time to talk things over with me and give me some advice. He's one of my favorite doctors at Tacoma General. I would recommend him highly!
