The doctor listened to my issues that potentially lead up to my reasons for this appointment. Dr. Dawkins explained potential causes but noted the plan of action is important and the steps for treatment. He showed his effective listening skills by responding to my questions in details and went further to explain it for me to understand. The industry could learn a lot from Dr. Dawkins
