Dr. Railey, as always, maintained his professionalism while actively listening to my concerns, my health goals as he reviewed my computer chart and examined me. He actually looked at my home blood pressure recordings that I brought with me as well as my food and exercise journal. Then he recommended changes to my medications to meet my health goals.

Very thorough. Dr Railly routinely takes BP in opposite arm that nurse does (I assume to check for discrepancies that could indicate more proximal subclavian or other stenosis. Just an example of how he takes time to talk to and examine his patients.
