Personal Quote: "One of the problems with medicine today is that patients feel they cannot pick up the phone and call their doctor or dentist. I am listed in the directory at home and answer every piece of e-mail and voice mail I receive within 24 hours if I am in town. That is what the doctor patient relationship is all about and it has been lost in many practices, my goal is to deliver that relationship to our patients."
