    Because he is very concerned about my health,he is compassionate,and he knows what he is doing,knowledgeable.I have a lot of confidence in him and this whole survey as I said in the beginning was only for Dr Karpoff and Dr.Perry. Reson I say this is because other doctors I've seen I did not like.
