We waited a long time to meet with Dr. Kapadia. The wait was well worth it. He took time to answer all of my questions. His approach made me feel an integral part of the decision making process. His fellow Dr. David Raile visited us and answered manu of our preliminary questions while Dr. Kapadia was delayed in a meeting. This was very effective and appreociated.
