Doctor Delgado is awesome. He is very knowledgeable, caring and have great bedside manners. I felt so comfortable speaking to him about my illness. He is an awesome listener and he takes a lot of time to listen without making me feel rushed. I wish all doctors treated their patients the way he does. The long wait doesn't matter when patients have a doctor as caring and attentive as Doctor Delgado.
