Mentor Feedback

“I wanted to compliment…my Mentor. I sent an email to him with a question…and within four hours I had not only his response but the input of four of his peers. This is a great service for those of us who are stretching the edges of what we would otherwise consider ‘comfortable.’”

 

– William Roberts, MD, Medical Director
