My only complaint is that time with Dr Brophy always feels rushed. It's ultimately why I previously sought a 2nd opinion. That said, I do believe that he cares and is excellent at his job, and I understand that he is busy and has to move on quickly.

Dr. Brophy and his resident are both amazing. They both spent a lot of time examining and talking with us and going over the plan with testing and are getting us back quicker than we ever would have where we used to go
