I have been Dr. Upton's patient for over 20 years, and he always treats me like I am his only patient. He attentively listens and takes his time explaining everything and answering my questions. My only sadness is that someday he will retire, and I have to find another doctor. I would not want to go to any other doctor but Dr. Upton.
