Dr McNamara is so good at listening and has always explained in detail what he reads or sees in your medical condition. He understands you are unique and understands not every patient is the same. When a dr understands this it helps the patient know and have more confidence they know they are more than just text book. Dr McNamara has done this from the first visit years ago until now.
