I was surprised at the office operation in a pleasant way. Not only did I get excellent, patient interaction with the Dr, but several of his staff (nurses, etc.) came in first and they were all as pleasant and enjoyable to speak with as him. He took his time, let me ask questions and gave me a great sense if comfort around my visit. After my second appointment (follow-up) we have a treatment plannin place and I'm on the mend. I would highly recommend again!
