    This was a waste of time I did not Have a chance To inquire about my concerns he said what he you wanted to say. It sounded to me like going for maintenance on your car and I'm talking to the service writer up front Not to Technician And the service writer is reading what's required at what mileage from my own owner's manual

    Dr. Hearst is always very attentive to me. He addresses my concerns my tests my need for follow up and or additional care needed. He provides a comfortable situation to deal with my personal medical needs and treatments. Always looks for other ongoing treatments or visits pending and other health providers.

    In the past few years there has been media produced about the late childrens television show host Mr Rogers whom I was too old to experience as a child. In this visit I noticed for the first time that the kind and caring personality of my provider of 18 years seems very similar to that of Mr Rogers.

    I would recommend Dr. Hearst but he is not accepting new patients according to your website.
