“Kristen was super helpful and clear. She took the time to discuss options with me and had a wonderful bedside manner.
It was 30 minutes after my appointment time before I saw her and the office lacked charm but otherwise a good experience. ”

Kristen is a gem! So kind and knowledgeable, I felt comfortable and taken care of.
The front desk staff was a bit rude to me though – make sure to fill out all of the forms prior to your appointment, not just the ones marked as required, to avoid any issues.
January 5, 2026Ana G.Verified patient
Wait time is very very long. Avoid by booking first appointment slot for the day. Doctor very nice but you have to ask clarifying questions to get enough information. Office is clean and neat.
