Explanation

Doctor Amamilo is clearly an experienced doctor, one who knows his profession well. I believe he has been quite attentive to my needs, has helped me go through with what is necessary and has been a good aide. However, I do feel he could have been a bit better in helping me decide the course of treatment rather than leaving it up to me to decide.
