The office is super clean and spacious.

1st visit not bad...just a local visit
Very nice doctor
Verified patient
The office staff was very nice and friendly. However, it felt like the doctor wasn't actually listening to me and it was clear that he didn't look at my medical chart prior to the appointment. I felt like my concerns were dismissed and was told to "come back if i feel awful", but that nothing could be done for me until that point (despite already feeling awful). Would not recommend this provider.
Great first visit. Pleasant. Good listening and communication. Thoughtful responses to questions and concerns. I would recommend to others.
It was really good.
