The doctor gave very good advice about follow up care and answered my questions thoroughly
First met with a resident who was excellent and then Dr. Templeton. They were both very thoughtful, respectful, insightful and made me feel heard. I have what I consider to be some bad past luck and a complicated history. Both of them appeared to listen intently maintaining eye contact and inquisitive body language. I felt heard and reassured when I left the offices.
