First doctor to actually treat my condition instead of putting me down and making me feel like my hygiene was the issue. Staff was so helpful and informative. Went through 3 doctors over my chronic condition and within a month the treatment he prescribed and routine that was recommended had my flare ups under control

The experience at the doctor's office was excellent. I was taking back right away but I filled all the information on ZocDoc and had to do it again at the doctor's office which didn't make any sense. Other than that the visit was a great experience
