“Dr. Vollinger was excellent, very knowledgeable and professional as well as caring and concerned. ”
“While I will miss Alan very much and wish him a long and healthy retirement he has chosen an equally qualified replacement! Rachael appears as caring and highly qualified as Alan and his parting gift to us in need of his care. ”
