    Dr. Pham explained everything in detail, taking the time to ensure I understood my diagnosis and the plan for care in the future. He was extremely attentive to my level of comprehension, asking questions about my current knowledge and adding to it where needed, it was not some spiel learned by rote. It felt great not to feel rushed or to feel the provider was rushed. Frankly, I can't remember a better visit than my first appointment with Dr. Pham.

    I can't express the gratitude I have for Dr Pham. His listening, explaining, and including my concerns in his care plan are remarkable! I think he's brilliant but also humble enough to learn from his patients experiences.
