It was obvious that Dr Privett had read my entire file. He discussed my health conditions like I had been seeing him for years. It was refreshing to see a Doctor Who didn't look at his watch, instead he really listened to what I had to say. And before he decided to get up from his chair, he asked me at least twice. Do you have any concerns or questions for me? He Seems to be a very caring doctor.

Too many doctors maintain a detached, impersonal personna with their patients. Dr. Privett is a people person ! He was very through in his examination, but his interaction with me on a Professional AND Personal level was nothing short of amazing! He was attentive, listened to my concerns and explained everything to my satisfaction. Just met him but I am highly impressed by his demeanor. I am confident he will do everything in his power to address/ resolve my situation.
