    The doctor is excellent. His treatment, his patience and attention is the best they have ever had in his clinic. It's very tie-like and sensitive to my culture. He understands that I don't speak English and makes a lot of effort to understand and talk to me.

    The Doctor did a great job, he's trying to figure out my sleep issues, may take awhile to get my issues resolved unfortunately. I was hoping for instant results but that's not realistic.
