I have been seeing Dr. Schiff for over 45 years, I believe, and he is the best doctor I've ever seen. He is a great listener. He pays attention to detail. He accommodates me when I'm late, which I was very late for this appointment, and it was very much a relief after the traffic. to be able to be seen and heard by him. Thank you.
