    I really liked Dr Atwood. I was very nervous about seeing a male doctor after seeing Dr Dawson for over 30 years. She knew every single thing about me and my life. So I was apprehensive about seeing a new and male doctor. But I liked Dr Atwood VERY VERY MUCH!!! He really listened to my concerns and had a great treatment plan to move forward with.

    Overall, Dr. Atwood was willing to listen and came up with a new treatment that I was willing to try. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to talk about other concerns.

    I was a little worried about having a new Dr. But I was pleasantly surprised that Dr Atwood was great at listening to me and talking over some possible changes.
