I was both impressed and set at ease, by Dr. Curry's patient presentation of my MRI results and the next steps he recommended (biopsy) to clearly identify the abnormalities noted in the MRI; and build a treatment plan. His manner set me at ease. I will follow his recommendations and look forward to working with him.

I felt very well cared for. The doctor has been monitoring a growth behind my left eye for a couple of years. Things were stable. The doctor is very thorough and very helpful.
