      No matter the rating scale (5,10, 100), I would rank Dr Ayoub as outstanding for his preparation (he reviewed my case the night before!), his out-of-the-box thinking, about options, his attention to detail, his patient-centered approach, his care in explaining (and assuring my understanding of) the options, his forthrightness and genuine concern for my condition.
