The doctor and his nutritionist Claudia were great. However, it's been difficult, and unpleasant dealing with the entire office around them. With the exception of one woman who called to schedule my follow up appointment, the administrative office has been completely disorganized, unfriendly, and unable to run things smoothly. If I didn't like the doctor so much I wouldn't go back for a follow up appointment.
