Very warm and caring, he was unrushed even though he was behind schedule. He did acknowledge that, and apologized for an almost hour delay in seeing me. He explained that he had an emergency patient, and a complex patient who required additional time. I really appreciated that, as most providers do not acknowledge when they're running late.
