    Dr. Tinker took his time to make sure my concerns were heard and understood. He showed compassion and true concern for my current symptoms. He helped me to get a plan of action in place and made sure I felt comfortable with the plan. This meant everything to me because it's hard to find doctors that don't treat you like you are just another number.
