“I loved the way he explained everything and suggested what was best for my treatments before even talking about surgery,felt he was very knowledgeable about his work ethic was excellent.he also recommended things to help my medical issues I would highly recommend him, ”

“Appointment was with Dr. Gott, but did not see him. Spoke with Nicole Shelly instead, and she was very competent as always.
Office was running very late, waited more than 30 minutes before seeing Nicole (read 54 pages in my book). I do recommend paying extra for the longer parking just to make sure you avoid a ticket.
Prefer their old office location much more.”
