After going with my first doctor that I found on zocdoc a couple weeks ago which ended up turning into a nightmare where they didn't help me at all. I was reminded how nice it is to have a doctor listen and help me without arguing. It restored my faith in zocdoc as a platform for finding a good doctor.

Good doctors office for a checkup, and is very well maintained and clean. Today was my first visit with Dr. R and she did well and listened very well to try to understand what was going on. Most doctors would just throw pills at you.
