Dr. Factora is very personable and patient. He was relaxed and listened to our questions. We did not feel rushed.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/15/2026
Dr. Factora was impressive. Explained and educated me on his assessments, my concerns, problems and proposed treatment. He was comprehensive, detailed and excellent in his clinical procedures and communication with me as a patient. He was not in a hurry to rush through the process step by step while examining me, documenting the process and explaining things I needed to know. He''s articulate, clear and able to converse in layperson''s terms. Would not mind having him as my primary physician when I asked him. He was professional and said my current PCP is ok. The nurse who gave me the cognitive test was just as excellent and caring. The tools used for assessment are impressive.

Dr. Factora was great. He took the time to summarize his recommendations and spoke slowly and loudly as requested. He used straightforward language; not a bunch of medical jargon. He's fantastic.
