07/19/2024 |
Dr. Stoff did a better job listening than most physicians I see. I have a complicated medical case and sometimes doctors can be dismissive of symptoms and problems they don't see often. Dr. Stoff was the opposite. He did an excellent job discussing my symptoms with me without dismissing what I'm experiencing. He even went above and beyond what most doctors are willing to do and did some additional research. He communicated with me promptly after he did and proposed a medication to help with some of my difficult to control symptoms. I was very pleased with the whole experience. I wish every doctor was more like Dr. Stoff! Thank you!!! |
