It was good and professional. The staff could be a little friendlier, but otherwise it was satisfactory.

I had a very good experience. Staff was professional and pleasant. Dr. Vargas listened well, conducted a physical examination, made her diagnosis, and then clearly explained the reasons for and the impact of the diagnosis.
