Dr Shortal's bedside manners are incredible good, I rate them 10 out 10. Other doctors in your system should look to him as a role model on how he treats patients. He is human and does NOT have the arrogant attitude as many doctors In your system has. He takes the time to explain In laymen language what's Is going on.
