He explains your problems where you can understand it. Giving examples that's clear so you get a visual as to how he plans to treat your ailment. Let's you know what part you will have to play so you can get the best results possible. You are not left with more questions than answers. I was very pleased with his patience shown to me. Have no problem in referring him to friends or family.
