Such a lovely man! I was a patient only once but I was immediately impressed with his kindness. I asked him if he was new to the practice and he laughed and said "I started this practice". We both had a chuckle. This was about two years ago. We also had a conversation about Breezy Point which I had never been to. I did go the following year and it´s just as beautiful as he described it.
