The Epic system was down, and he managed to find my phone number and call me directly. He had even reviewed my test results the night before in preparation for an early morning. Call. Without that advanced preparation, we would've had to reschedule. I very much appreciate him doing that and making the effort to call me directly.

Rated only good for some questions as I had a finding at the final moments of exam that I did not fully digest, so I am left with questions going forward, but I have raised them through Patient Portal.

I trust Dr. Haynes fully. He's honest, friendly, knowledgeable and very respectful. I appreciate that he treats me like a person first and always communicates about what he's doing and what to expect, asks permission/consent. Couldn't ask for a better doctor.
