    When i see Dr McNamara he is very upbeat, listens intently, asks questions that help him understand how I feel. He does not seem to stop thinking of different ways to ask questions that would help him understand what may be best for my wellbeing. He makes sure I understand any answers he may have given for any questions I throw at him.
