Dr. Meara was thorough, caring and a good communicator.
All good.
he was late but apologized he was working the clinic and got held up. he was very attentive to my symptoms
No words to explain how Dr. Meara and I get along. I feel fortunate to have found him.
He was very relaxed & easy to ask questions.
He is very caring knowledgeable. Spends the time necessary for you to understand what is going on with your health.
Received a NP visit much sooner than I expected. This was of great benefit to me; to find out something "worrisome" on my CT wasn't what it could have been.
Very knowledgeable, professional, personable, informative, had a positive personality. Answered all my concerns and questions.
Excellent in all respects.
Explained every option for treating my injury
