Routine follow-up . Dr B went over all blood test results He advised I continue to cut back on sugar and carbs. I forgot to ask a pertinent question. Does greater length and intensity of exercise compensate for increased consumption of carbs?
5.0
Doctor BOKHOOR is an outstanding doctor. He takes his time, never rushes, thoroughly reviews my full health history, listens carefully and he’s incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
