Dr. B always takes time and listens to me. I trust him. I moved from [omitted]5 years ago, and drive an hour to see him. Even though I live an hour away, I don’t want to change doctors.

Dr. B is a very caring and compassionate physician. He has been our family doctor for almost 30 years. He takes time to catch up on family and our well being. He is easy to talk to and carefully listens, hears you and takes time and proper steps with you about your health concerns or questions. He is exceptionally helpful with referrals and very timely on updates from tests. He is by far my favorite doctor/healthcare provider!

He's been my doc for quite sometime. I have a rare medical condition, and he's very open to my medical protocol for treatment (I have hypoparathyroidism which is recognized by NORD). He is very understanding, and always gives good advice. He's a keeper.
