Dr. Hedberg is a good and patient listener. Despite my having a previous appt with him, I had some follow up questions for him prior to sched procedure. He went over things again verbally proficient with no sign of impatience having reviewed some of these issues previously. That kind of skill contributes to my feeling that I'm in the best hands.
