Patient Reviews
Aug 29, 2024
The staff is surprisingly amazing. The forms I filled out online in advance helped me a lot to better understand the symptoms and made me think for how long I’ve been experiencing each of them to get ready for a discussion with the doc during the appointment. The receptionist, doc assistant and the doc were very friendly and they had no rush at all to hear me out. The doc didn’t make assumptions and requested me to come back with the imaging and other exams that will assist him propose the treatment.
