Dr. Ratchford was detailed in his explanations of my concerns and provided suggestions for further tracking of my blood pressure readings. His reassurance of additional concerns helped me dismiss unneeded anxiety. Very appreciative of his confidence in addressing my medical concerns. Dr. Ratchford's patience and professional qualities are comforting.
