    This provider was the most thorough Dr I've seen in years, with the exception of the epilepsy Dr I saw at Mount Sinai. During the appt I learned that the Dr I am transferring from was his mentor and a part of why he is in the field he is in. I am happy he is a part of my care team and feel a lot more comfortable about my future treatment and care at UConn going forward with him involved.
