Patient Reviews
May 12, 2019
Dr. Houston has the best besdside manner and personality of any Doctor I have had. He took the time and care to fully explain my diagnosis and options in a way that really showed he cared and was not just trying to rush through patients. He is courteous, clean, and professional and made a Doctor appointment, what I have in the past deemed unpleasant and a hassle, a good all around experience!
