Verified patient
The front desk is the most disrespectful group of individuals to ever be put in charge. They will most assuredly ignore you and hang up on you without even talking to you. Not only are the jeopardizing at risk CANCER/BLOOD RISK PATIENTS WHO NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEDICATION AND APPOINTMENTS but you are laughing about it as I am typing this out. Shame on the entire front desk. There honestly is no reason for this. You are a disgrace.
Verified patient
Phenomenal!
Verified patient

Verified patient
Great experience and I would recommend to others!
All Staff were very friendly. Doctor made sure I understood everything he was saying - broke everything down. I appreciated his candor and patience.
First time meeting with this doctor and I am pleasantly surprised on how thorough he was with my blood results which I brought with me after being discharged from the hospital. He reviewed, initially diagnosed and took blood for lab work and set a plan to get my blood counts back to normal as he awaits more of a precise approach once we get the lab results back. Office staff was also very friendly and the office a was clean and well kept.
Verified patient
Very reassuring no nonsense type of doctor. Love him for that. Breaks down everything with an action plan after. Truly great Dr that makes you feel that you’re in good hands
Verified patient
Office staff were very friendly. The office was clean. The dr was very friendly, patient and asked if you had any questions for him and took his time to make sure you understood the answers. He didn’t just walk in, look at your chart, mumble a few words at you and walk out leaving you confused. I really appreciated that, made me feel comfortable.
Dr. C is rhe best. he answers all your questions and is very personable. He will help you and get the answers you are looking for.
Very knowledgeable doctor. Really easy to talk to
