"Dr. Challenger was pleasant and showed empathy and friendliness. It was clear he showed respect for my input but was willing to be firm and fair. I felt taken care of and definitely was glad to know that I could count on him in the future on any problem. This was a very satisfying experience. Reduced my anxieties."
