    Dr. Given was genuine and caring. He treated me as a person and not just a numbered patient. He listened to my issues and helped me understand the answers. His follow up care was instructional and thorough. I am very pleased to have met and have been treated by him.

    He was extremely nice, professional and personable. He didn't make me feel rushed and was very thorough with his instructions. He got my procedure scheduled right away, in the same week I initially saw him. I've been in the medical field for 25 years and we definitely need more doctor's like him!
