“I came in for a knee pain. The provider examined me and was done in less than 15 minutes . My wait time was so short that I was there overall from going in line to check in and going out of the building in less than an hour. The provider was excellent, courteous and guickly diagnosed the cause of my knee pain. .I worked in Healthcare so he doesn't have to explain a lot as well”

Great dr would recommend was very thorough
March 25, 2025Jamie A.Verified patient
I visited the doctor to have fluid drained from my knee, I have been dealing with this since April and despite icing, elevation and physical therapy the conditioned has swelled to the size of an egg. Despite this, the doctor insisted I wait an additional four weeks to see if my body absorbs the fluid. The doctor was not proactive and the swelling is larger now than it was last week.
