I was very pleased with my healthcare provider. I have worked with physicians with a SOM out of state teaching bedside manners with leadership competencies and I am always looking for certain qualities with my provider to make sure I am receiving them. Dr. Poilgeers provided exceptionally what I look for with my HC providers.
