He explained my condition and recommended treatments exceedingly well. I never felt he was anxious to get to the next patient.

I think there was a communication issue with appointment times that were available online and what was actually available. The office was able to work me in on the same day as the appointment that I had scheduled online. And I believe that is why my wait might have been a little longer than usual. Dr. Falknor was great and I would definitely recommend him and the office staff was very courteous.
