They check my blood pressure and temperature, She checked for TMJ, my throat inside and under my chin for swollen glands. She explained everything that was going on, the plan of what should be done.
I appreciate her staff that told be what my insurance would allow and when approximately I would reach that amount.
She was very thorough. I will definetely be returning.”
