    Dr. Chitaly is so kind and knowledgeable. He asked me questions that most people have never asked me and I felt like he really cares about getting my diagnosis exactly right in order to treat it in the best way possible. He explained the whys of different treatment options which is really important for me to know. He also has quickly provided me with test results and modified the plan as necessary based on those results.
