“The doctor seems a little overworked, but is present when I'm there. The office staff is not friendly. THEY keep messing up my insurance and blaming me when it's clearly not my issue. I will likely take my business elsewhere if not addressed.”
James W.March 2, 2026
“Very attentive listener and active in the conversation. Pleasant demeanor and seemed very knowledgeable. He instilled a high degree of confidence in his abilities.”
