I spend a lot of time talking to patients and I get asked a lot of questions. Many of these are very thoughtful and important questions. Patients stimulate me to think and have everything to do with the kind of doctor that I am. I use the FAQ as a kind of professional diary working out and refining my answers. These are the questions that I am asked most frequently and these are my best answers. None of these answers are recitals from a text book or quoting party line. They are all backed by my experience and thorough consideration.
