When I married nine years ago, I moved from the only town I’d ever lived in to a much larger one. If I became ill, I usually visited the doctor who could see me the quickest. However, when I met my current family physician, I never wanted to go anywhere else. This soft-spoken man was courteous, compassionate, and caring. Since that fateful first day when I visited him for agonizing headaches, I’ve considered this humble physician a friend that I can depend on. When I visit his office, I know that he will listen patiently to all of my complaints during an examination. Despite a demanding schedule, he will work tirelessly to diagnose my malady and treat it successfully. On this blog, you will discover the benefits of securing a family doctor that you can depend on in times of need. Enjoy and stay healthy!
