The office was brand new and very inviting. The nurse practitioner was very sweet. They took me back to the room so quickly that I wasn't even finished with my paperwork (which there was a ton of). Dr. Shanahan was very nice, if not a little quirky. I liked her, will most likely be back. Just hope she remembers me. That is the biggest tell!
