Pleased with the care I received when I see this Dr..
Dr Van Besien is an excellent specialist. He is always thorough and very kind/concerned. I have some unexplained lab results and he honestly told me " he doesn't know" why the results are high. I am anxious but I trust him to take my best interests to heart.
