Dr. OB, like all the doctors, it seems, is overloaded. Due, I understand, to a general "short staffing" problem

Dr. OB has gained the confidence of my once skeptical farther in managing his overall care. His health has improved 200% in Dr. OB's care. Dr. OB listens to my dad, treats him with respect and provides excellent medical care!
