Dr. B was my psychiatrist at the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System in Tucson AZ. I was extremely sadden when he retired. He was very personable and truly cared about his patience. He was such a joy to be around. Psychiatry was not just a job to him, it was his passion. That was obvious by his interaction with others (staff and patient). Blessings to his family. May he rest in peace.
