Overall pleasant experience.

Doctor evaluated my areas of concern and addressed them. Take or wear a sock and have loose shoes for possible wrap, etc. My flip flops were totally wrong! I actually have been a patient there for over 10 years so their practice is absolutely my first choice! I have chronic diagnosis that cannot be cured so I look forward to appointments that make me feel better.
