Dr. Ogilvie did his homework. He read my chart before I arrived for my visit. He listened to me and explained things very well. I felt that God placed me where I was supposed to be. I knew I was in good hands and completely trusted my physician.

Dr. Ogilvie was helpful and clear in his explanation of the condition, treatment, and risks. While the nature of my specific concern was quite sensitive, I never felt uncomfortable or unsure of what was happening with my care.

No problem really- just some of his notes contained information I did not give or say. Maybe take a little more time to answer questions.
