Involved in all decisions regarding any treatment going forward. Appreciate that Dr. Stafford deferred to my judgement on some flexible issues (lose weight instead of stronger blood pressure meds which appears to be working).

Dr. Stafford took the time to make sure that I understood what I can do to help my blood pressure and we put a plan of action in place, and I am going to see him in three months. He was smiling and happy and was calming with any questions or anxiety that I had about my medical issue. He is a very kind and compassionate doctor.
