      I feel Dr. Pound is a great match for my health needs. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and takes them seriously. I feel in "good hands" at all times. I feel I have the very best health team possible. This certainly Is a good part of the reason I'm kicking around as well as I am at the age of 88.
