Patient Reviews
Dec 11, 2022
I’ve seen Dr. Oates for years. Sometimes the wait time is long but I have never minded because Dr. Oates has always been an extremely helpful and thorough doctor. He has always explained things to me and has never hesitated to explain because the concept might be out of my depth, unlike other doctors that just push certain treatment options without explaining the “why” — which is something that really sets my anxiety off. When I have been resistant towards treatments because of listed side effects he has told me about studies, data, and the nature of my disease in general that explain it and left me feeling much better. When I’ve had issues between appointments I have never had an issue getting care. I highly recommend Dr.Oates to anyone.
