I was apprehensive about treatment but De Guanche immediately set me at ease with with his steady confidence building skill and a bit of good humor. I liked him very much

The Receptionist was very helpful and professional. The practice coordinator and the medical assistant were much less than professional. Dr Guanche was very kind and took time with me. He did not make me feel rushed.
