    Marc was very helpful in explaining during the examination what was causing my issues with breathing through my nose. He also explained some options in the future if needed and also explained some tips to help me breath better at night.

    Dr Error has been a great doctor with treating me. He has a way of explaining things to me without any confusion. He really cares about me as a patient, and it's nice to even have a fun personality with health conditions that can be very serious.

    Marc didn't read or didn't have access to any information as to why I was referred to his clinic. He acted like I'd been told I didn't need follow up care when in fact I was referred precisely because my primary care provider thought I needed a follow up. I wish Marc could have been more helpful in explaining what was clearly a mistake on my primary care provider's part, but instead I left his office feeling invalidated and confused. He needs to exhibit better listening skills, and he should have already known why I was referred.
