“Easy booking for a first time visit. The doctor was kind mannered and listened to all of my symptoms and helped me navigate next steps/testing. There was no rushing through the appointment. I get anxious going to a new doctor and trying to lay out all of my medical issues in one sitting but the doctor listened and made me comfortable laying it all out. The office is unassumingly very nice inside and modern. Their online systems are more updated than most in the area. The testing I was sent for seems thorough. Would definitely recommend.”
