Dr. Jaber is extremely competent and thorough. He explains and teaches while reporting out test results and comparing from last visit. Also, for me it is really important to realize that I am so afraid and Dr. Jager will pick up on that and address it with appropriate "lightness." He makes a point to include my husband into the conversation and commends him for being with me. Dr. Jager maintains a wonderful and pleasant humor. Thank you so very much.
