    Dr. Resneck was excellent. He was efficient in his diagnosis, personable, very clear in describing condition (most complete explanation I have received with respect to this issue) and offered a couple options for treatment. Once I decided he was supportive and implemented the plan. Could not have been more satisfied with the experience.

    Dr. Resneck is that best possible combination: brilliant at what he does; truly concerned about the patient; and very affable. I wish the "bedside manner" he has at every appointment could be taught.
