Dr. Ehrlichman himself has an awesome bedside manner. I remember him holding my hand before while we were waiting for surgery prep and he's very attentive as I explained to him what I wanted. His staff are amazing. They're super kind and they get back to you and it's just been overall a really great experience dealing with them.
