Just went in for a routine physical. There was literally no wait, in fact, I was seen before I had even finished filling out the paperwork. Dr. St. Claire is friendly and quite thorough as well as rather informative. Having my blood drawn was nearly painless (both emotionally and physically) which is saying something since I've got a thing about needles.

Dr. St. Claire was thorough, professional and pleasant during my annual physical exam and made me feel at ease discussing any issues I had regarding my health. He made a few recommendations which seemed to make sense and I will follow. I will definitely continue seeing him for my routine checkups. The office has a lot going on with numerous docs and feels a little bit like a factory but that did not seem to interfere with the personal attention I felt I received.

Professional and made me feel at ease. THe great thing about this office is you can always get in same day, the bad thing is that it is like a medical wal-mart. This doctor dealt well with the surroundings and gave me his full attention.
