Patient Reviews
Dec 12, 2017
The Doctor was great. She explained all the details well. She helped me get an idea of what I was going to get done. She was pleasant and her nurse Dieon was a kind person with skill. I.would recommend her to my family. Ear, nose and throat doctors are hard to find. I am pleased I got set up well.
