It was my first visit so I don't have much to go on. The staff was very friendly and professional. I will keep you posted.
Thank you.

Dr. Passi is a great doctor and has a welcoming demeanor, but I waited NINETY MINUTES (yes, 90 minutes, a feature film) before being seen for what was ultimately a five minute appointment. I wouldn't be so upset if the staff told me to come back later, attempted to reschedule my appointment, or made any effort to apologize for the blatant and unnecessary waste of my time. HIGHLY disappointed with the handling of my appointment time.
