    He’s been taking care of me for about 24 years and I haven’t had any negative issues with him.

    why not. I have seen him in the past. He is fine and saw me on the same day I called about a pain issue. Plus it is nice to see a real MD sometimes. I hate these surveys. I have been seeing AHN which includes Mackessy and the now retired Dr Doyle for 30 years. Your former PA Lauren saved my life by insisting I go for a CT scan for former smokers so that my lung cancer was identified at stage 1.and cured. Lauren and now Katie Arnold have helped me stay on Ozempic so I have lost 60 pounds and my cardiac issues have seriously diminished. Have the X-ray machines on site is a real positive factor. I have these surveyss

    He is not my regular doctor yet treated me like I had been going to him for years. Spent time discussing symptoms and past history. Discussed medicine options and when I said something didn’t work for me he didn’t prescribe it but looked at my history to see what worked.
