All has been pretty good - when I need to see my primary physician, if he's not available, I am usually given an asap appointment with an available doctor and this has generally turned out fairly well.
Providence Patient
Shortly after Dr. Cornelius came into the examination room and sat down, he congratulated me for having lost 50 pounds during the last five years. I had to think momentarily about whether that was true, and realized that indeed I had shed that much weight. His comment made me feel good and set the tone for the ensuing pleasant consultation.
Providence Patient
He is great.

Dr. Cornelius is an excellent listener and explains every question I ask him in detail and easy to understand manners.

I do appreciate that immensely. And he shows genuine concerns about my health and shows me all possibilities about the solutions of the symptoms and shares with me his professional directions. I am truly happy to have him my primary provider. Dr. Cornelius is one of the two most favorite doctors in my almost 80 years of my life. He is an extraordinary doctor. Thank you!
