    Dr Pfeiffer has a very relaxing "bedside" manner. His answers to my questions were easy to understand and he made me feel very comfortable by laying out how the process was going to move forward.

    Dr was very nice and informative. I have never done video calls and do not like my chart or answering the same questions over and over when doing digital check in.
