Dr Kasitinon is very friendly, knowledgeable and kind. He takes his time to listen and did a thorough examination, explaining his thought process clearly. He doesn’t recommend unnecessary procedures or tests and sticks to the evidence. The office is really clean and nice and the staff were also really great. I waited less than 15 mins to see the doctor which was also awesome.
