Patient Reviews
Oct 02, 2024
Dr. Em, was great, when you have to have a procedure done, of course you are anxious, nervous and stressed. Dr. Em was a reassuring person that made me feel at ease on having the procedure. Before the procedure the Staff took great care of me, kept me informed at all times and would always offer information and answered all my questions. I talked to Dr. Em before we started, he explained what was going to happen. He made me feel comfortable about the everything and always asked if he needed to explain anything further. I didn't feel a thing. After the procedure the staff took exceptional care of me. Offered me a drink as soon as I woke up. Dr. Em came in after, did a quick review of the procedure, comforted me on the results and left me with a positive attitude about everything and assured me of keeping me posted. The staff again, perfect. Can not put into words how such a stressful procedure can be handled in such a perfect way. Thanks to Dr. Em and all the staff.
