I like that the doctor listens to my questions and concerns and actually explains things to me. Sometimes I feel like doctors think patients won't understand so they just don't explain things but my urologist is always good with keeping me in the loop and helping me understand my health issues/concerns.

Mark is very knowledgeable and caring and listens to my concerns and does his best to address them. He was willing to prescibe another medication when the one I was taking caused uncomfortable side effects. I always feel "heard" and respected when dealing with Mark.
