“Very swell guy and friendly person overall. He was attentive and apologized for any delays since it was busy on his end. He took the time to listen to whats been bothering me, explain symptoms and how they could occur and what factors could lead into it. Non-judgmental at all during the entire conversation. The nursing staff were also super friendly and fun to talk to. great office and experience all around. ”
