The Dr asked questions and listened to my responses so as to get a complete quick picture of my state of health and medical condition. She made recommendations regarding the current issues. I was satisfied with the way I was dealt with and would recommend her to my friends.

I was nervous about booking a new patient appointment online, but it was such a breeze! Zocdoc and the office both confirmed my appointment within 24 hours. It made it so easy and stress free.
The office is very nice and very clean. The staff was beyond welcoming. I would 100% recommend this office, and especially Dr. Hjalmarson. She is definitely in the top 5 doctors I have ever seen. Her bedside manner was 5 stars and she listened to everything I had to say. I can’t wait to go back and see her again soon.
