Such a great experience! So incredibly kind and patient, gave me all of the space I needed to ask questions. Bedside manner was top-notch; she asked about my tattoos, what I did for work, and none of it sounded like she was doing it as a chore. Really felt comfortable with the whole staff who were all so kind.
Verified patient
Dr. Motosko was fantastic. The staff were so friendly and polite. The only downside was a very long wait time. I think the insurance company may have been slow in responding to the office's outreach for approval. I am SO glad I stuck out the wait!
Verified patient
