Dr. Vickers is an exceptional physician. He talks to you in layman terms, so you'll understand he's very informative and he spends as much time with you as needed, always answering any questions you have. Also, he will not let you leave the appointment until he's satisfied that you're aware of everything going on regarding your health and fully understand what's going on. You need more doctors like Doctor Vickers...He is amazing.
