The questionnaire before going to exam room was excellent for me and son. I had written What I wanted to learn from visit and your question showed you cared. I liked that you had separate pages for my son. Dr. [...] was a breath of fresh air. I had read about Dr. Schrift's expertise and didn't expect to see him. So I was extremely impressed with him and his resident.
