      In my opinion, Dr. Ansher is an interesting, likeable and capable doctor. I encountered him 10 years prior on another issue and liked him them, so I was pleased to see him again. As best I could see, he appears to be experienced, well-networked within JHH, and freely uses the network to the benefit of his patients.
