Dr. Stein is a professional who listens/advocates for his patients. I decided to schedule a visit with him after reading the positive reviews and I was not disappointed. On the day of my appointment, the receptionist was friendly and check in was simple. Maria, the medical assistant who brought me back to the exam room, was friendly, attentive, and professional. Dr. Stein walked into the exam room accompanied by an assistant who takes notes throughout the visit. This was great as it allowed Dr Stein to have a natural flow of conversation instead of having to continuously stop to take notes. I mentioned to Dr Stein some testing I had done and he was able to locate the results and share them with me during the visit. I left the visit with a plan in place and with the feeling that I was in competent hands.
Dr. Grade is a professional and answered all of my questions. In the conclusion of the consultation Dr. Grade asked me if I had anymore questions. He explained my care plan from beginning to end. Dr. Grade made me feel dignified and comfortable. He has practiced medicine at the Veterans Administration clinic in Gilbert. I recommend him to all Veterans because he cares about giving Veterans and all patients quality care.
