Dr Eaton is the most thorough, most patient, and most knowledgeable physician I have ever had. I have cognitive impairment and he never rushes me. He goes over all my tests and scans in detail and explains them to me, and is always very thorough with his questions.

It was rushed and the doctor told me what had ( Alzheimer's) and that was that. Then he sent to go to a nurse to take blood . That sas that.

Dr Eaton never rushes me- Inkocenmy appts with him cos we go over everything I have concerns or questions about and he takes me seriously and never patronizes me or talksDown to me. He always has good ideas about something to try to help me function better with my disease and he follows through with anything he suggests

We love Dr. Eaton. We feel he genuinely cares about my husband as his patient and even me as his caregiver. He tries hard to understand his developing illness and meet his needs. He is well informed and always gives us options.
