I've been seeing Brooke for about a year. Very nice person with good experience and easily tailors to what you need. He always alleviates whatever issue I go to see him for. We usually chat quite a bit but if you want less chatting, just let him know. Payment is very easy and he processes health insurance. Highly recommended.
