Dear Editor: 

I would like to commend CareMore (HMO) and my primary care physician, Dr. Chode. 

Dr. Chode seems well informed on medical knowledge and the latest technology and treatment techniques. He also has excellent rapport with his patients. I look forward to seeing him for check-ups, and whether I have a minor health issue or one of a little more serious nature, I always leave his office feeling better. 

In one instance, he was able to take care of a problem for me which in the past required a referral to see a specialist. He has a great staff too and they all have a wonderful, patient side manner. 

I am extremely satisfied and can't praise them enough.
