Patient Reviews
May 23, 2018
This Dr has taken excellent care of my elderly friend and in that respect I recommend his services. However I have never waited so long at an office. This time and another we waited 2+ hours. Ridiculous. When I asked the rude receptionist said basically too bad that's normal. The rest of the staff is always helpful.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
