They listened to my needs and a very friendly office and staff

Do not put this on Dr. Strober's profile page as I have not met him. My experience was not good. I was scheduled on line from the beginning to meet Dr. Rod Strober. When I got to the chair there was a person that took X-rays. She left with the X-rays, came back and was looking at them with another person. They started reviewing the X-rays together and I could not understand anything they were saying. The other lady came back with a treatment plan. Told me it was approved by the insurance company. I agreed on the treatment plan and they would make me an appointment to start treatment. I asked should I stop taking Elliquis she said I'll have to contact the doctor and I will call you back.
