It was the late '80s. I had been to perhaps a half-dozen physicians, and no one had been able to diagnose my issue. Then I was fortunate enough to meet Charles Livengood, MD. He was wonderful to me. He diagnosed my problem, and we set out to manage it -- together.

He has evolved into my primary care physician, even though that is not his specialty. He always makes time for me and my needs. Dr. Livengood is kind and engaging. We laugh when I come to see him, and he always encourages me to be the best me I can be. I heart him.
