I’ve been a patient of Dr. Pod since I moved to Mansfield in 2008. He is an excellent physician because he listens to his patients, which is the most important skill of a healthcare professional. He knows when to treat and when to refer patients to a specialist, which is another valuable skill for a healthcare professional. Finally, he always showed me respect, acknowledging my knowledge and experience in healthcare. Dr. Pod has now retired, and I’m more than a bit lost on who to choose as a primary care physician.
