    Dr. Starkweather has that rare attribute of being professional in a warm and welcoming manner. I trust his judgment implicitly. If I request an additional test, he gives it consideration, telling me the pros and cons. He never just arbitrarily says no, insuran ce won’t cover that or that Medicare won’t approve it. In other words, he works to get the most information and give the best recommendation based on what’s best for me. I feel valued.

    I have the utmost respect and admiration for Dr. Starkweather. He is an extremely caring and professional doctor. I recommend him to any who are looking for a primary physician. I only regret that he may be moving more into administration than patient care. Cl early, he excels in both.
