Consulting and Related Relationships

It was a short and quick visit with the doctor. We didn't have any questions or concerns. The baby is healthy.
The multiple doctors I saw during my visits were honest and accommodating considering I lived out of town and concerning my unborn child's health.
Wait time - bad. Referrals - terrible. Doctor's knowledge & bedside manner - great.
He was very nice and explained everything to me.
Dr. Samuels went above and beyond what any doctor I've ever seen. He was funny and compassionate. He showed genuine concern for our situation. He even went down in the elevator with us to show us where the lab was to get bloodwork done.
Dr. Samuels is an excellent physician!
