        Dr Craig McKeown is an exceptional doctor, in addition to the breadth of his knowledge, he is very sensitive, reassuring , extremely personable and a very pleasant doctor. He patiently and thoroughly explains everything, is a sincere listener, who I feel is devoted to his patients in every way. There just are not enough adjectives to describe what a wonderful/person he is . He is also a gift to me and Bascom Palmer. Bascom Palmer is very fortunate to have him on their staff.
