The doctor had a friendly, knowlegeable staff and was very pleasant and professional. The only hassle I had was before I had the appointment. It was trying to return a call using her office's voicemail system.

Very satisfactory
December 14, 2011JP
Doctor was very good. The problem was they had received my appt as August 21st, not today as scheduled, Feb 21st. They did squeeze me in tho they were not at fault. They received the wrong date from Zoc Doc.
