Patient Reviews
May 15, 2022
This was one of the best Dr. visits I have had in a while. Even though i drove 5 hours to get there it was worth it. I barely sat down and was called back. Dr. Samant shook my hand which has not been done in a while. He was very informative about my condition and explained it like other Dr's should. Explained it to the point that all my questions and then some was answered without asking. I was very impressed.
