“The provider did a great job with my visit and listened to the details of my condition before making their recommendation. They seemed caring, knowledgeable and focused on helping me get quality treatment for my problem. They also went above and beyond when there was a processing difficulty at the pharmacy.
The care they provided was superior to the treatment I have experienced from other providers. Would recommend this practitioner to my friends and family.”

My appointment was scheduled for 8:00 AM. I got a notification at 6:08 AM with the provider inviting me to the appointment I logged in. He wasn’t there. I also returned at the proper time and he wasn’t there so somebody who has waited an awful long timeto trust somebody this was not what I needed at all.
