Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2024
Dr Essien was so kind from start to finish.. he even came to my bedside after surgery when he noticed I was struggling ( most drs I’ve experienced don’t do that ) he even made sure my husband received the medication I needed for home because our pharmacy was closed …that was so impressive and kind of him , also the staff is so friendly and welcoming .. I saw some negative reviews on Dr Essien but I promise you that wasn’t my experience at all .. he was wonderful! Highly recommend Dr Essien..
