Patient Reviews
Jan 25, 2021
Management changed a few years ago which made a big difference. My wait time is short, and my exams are detail oriented. My questions are addressed; at other offices, I feel rushed. I also felt safe here as schedule is limited with no gathering in waiting room, filters in every room, with temperature checks and pre-screening questions for COVID. This office runs safely.
