It is always a pleasure to speak to Dr T because of him explaining everything to terms that I can understand not needing a medical degree. He is the most caring, thoughtful, understanding, respectful, and showing test of xrays and explaining the results. He leaves no doubt of understanding anything when you leave your appointment. You have a jewel in Dr. T. And I am so glad to have him too!
