      Dr Ching is simply the best doctor I've seen in seventy five years of life. He is like a Norman Rockwell doctor in breadth of knowledge, depth of care, and accessible personality. He is the best there is and miles better than anyone should expect. His staff obviously absorbed much of their professionalism and humanity from him.
