Front office staff seemed busy and unattentive to new patients; the nurse was very nice and professional though. The doctor was very personable, polite, and took time to listen and explain.
I was very nervous going in bc my first experience with my last doc was horrible. Dr. George came in with a smile, shook my hand and right away I feel like he really cares. My nervousness went away as we talked. I could tell he was listening and that finally I have someone who's interested in helping me get better. 5 star doctor all the way.
