PA Bryson is phenomenal. I have the deepest respect for his intelligence, medical knowledge and bedside manner. He meets patients exactly where they are and makes them feel good about the doctor-patient relationship. I can honestly say I trust his advice - if he tells me I should do something, my first impulse is to believe him rather than to check the research myself before assuming he is correct. An exceptional provider while in the room but he didn't stop there; before the visit was through he had managed to make the appropriate referrals, order the prescriptions he'd promised and even pushed through the insurance. Consider me impressed.
