My husband and I 100% trust him with our son's medical care. We sought out recommendations for a pediatrician from friends and coworkers at VCUHS. His name came up repeatedly. He is kind. He listens. He shows genuine concern. Our son can be skittish around people, but adores him and is actually excited to go to the doctor.
