I am relieved to find a Dr. like Dr. Paul Putman. He is an incredibly knowledgeable doctor and more of scholar than a pill pusher in my opinion. He doesn't have drug company stationary, pens, and coffee mugs dangled around his office (very good sign). I felt very much at home and at ease in his office and in speaking with his receptionist. He is a Dr. that takes control of the situation as a doctor should by asking effective questions to assess your history, habits, symptoms, childhood, etc. He is very thorough and I didn't feel rushed or under any pressure while speaking to him even when I had trouble answering questions. I like his style... straight shooter who is methodical, direct, and to the point. He even asked me what I was hoping to accomplish and what my goals were. I had been through a month of hell going from doctor to doctor trying to find a doctor who would really take the time to work with me. Every doctor I had been to prior didn't want to take the time to dig. I feel like Dr. Putnam has me going in the right direction, but most of all I feel like I have a doctor willing to work with me to get at the root of my symptoms. I know I'm in good hands and that is too important.
