Very streamlined. Very pleasant atmosphere. I was 20 minutes late but they took me in without a hitch. I like that all the business associated with Dr.'s appointments can be done online. A quick & easy way to find a specialist without going through my primary physician.

He's precious!
October 11, 2013Susan M.Verified patient
The office asks that you arrive for appt. 15 minutes early, but I sat in waiting room another 1/2 hour. I had downloaded the patient info forms & had them already filled out. Also, this office does NOT validate parking so additional time spent sitting in the office costs you $$ for parking.
