Requesting an appointment on the website was very fast and efficient. I even received as email confirming my appointment date and time. Unfortunately, the next day I received a phone call requesting that I change my appointment to another day. I indicated that I would need to keep my appointment time as confirmed, the staff worked me in and my wait time was about an hour.

Loved the MD., he listened to my med history and gave me some great insight on what the problem might be. He ordered further tests and advised what i could do on my end. Makes you feel quite comfortable talking to him. Would recomend him in a heart beat.
