My wife and I were both impressed with Dr. Feczko. He was thorough, carefully explaining things. He did not appear rushed or in a hurry, but calmly answered questions. He didn't just say "no" or "bad idea" when responding to a question about resuming running, but simply explained what I might experience and how I might worry my wife, etc. ( a nice sense of humor there). Dr. Feczko was reassuring. I look forward to my upcoming appointment with him.

Great full that Dr. Feczko communicates with other specialists & coordinated care . Gave me confidence that I'm in the best hands . Him , Dr. Benn integrity are amazing! They are what all the other specialists need to learn. They're shining examples of what the foundation that CClinic was built on. I have lost so much trust in various specialists who never step out of their silos .
