• Dr. Newsome is extraordinary. He always begins by listening! He is thoroughly prepared. He speaks clearly and softly. He makes eye contact with me and with my family members. He also listens to their questions. He ends by summarizing the ground that we've covered, and the decisions that we've made. The CT scan for this recent visit presented some difficult information, and required some challenging choices. Dr. Newsome guided me through all of it with a calm hand on the tiller, clear explanations of my options, and a thought-through strategy. I left the way that I always leave a visit with Dr. Newsome: relaxed in the confidence that I am in the care of a caring, smart, dedicated specialist. I sing his praises, and recommend him to family and friends every chance that I get. Thank you, Dr. Newsome!
