I see Dr. Kochar once every 3 months for Botox injection for facial paralysis. I schedule the next appointments on my way out. So far he seems personable, knowledgeable, skilled and usually in a hurry. I dint think such a simple routine procedurally visit qualifys for the detail of this questionnaire.
