Sound respectful advice, careful explanations intended to let me make my own informed decisions about what to do. They left me alone when I was not needed, but always responded quickly when I had questions. Also, I work third shift- 11 pm to 7am, they adapted to my communication preferences. Bob Kasieta is great, and his staff is amazing.
