Before my appointment, I read Dr. Holzman's profile. He has accomplished so much through the years to benefit other doctors in his field of study. During my appointment, Dr. Holzman was a very good communicator as well as listener. He clearly explained my diagnosis and treatment plan. I am aware of his expertise, and feel very thankful for his help. I highly recommend him.
