Showed up late to appointment but was immediately accommodated. The staff were extremely professional and courteous, handling me in a calm and efficient manner.

It was good. Medicines are working. But he should tell the reasons also behind the illness so that we can take care in future. He just checks, prescribes the medicines and zooms out to the next patient.

I have not seen him walk on water.... yet....
Good experience
The doctor was not very friendly in a genuine manner. He spent most of his time during the visit with his laptop computer while only asking about where I work and what kind of insurance I have. He spend very little time actually physically checking my issue and I honestly learned more about my condition after researching on the internet than from his extremely brief explanation.
He was a very caring doctor. Despite being really busy, he spend a great deal of time with me and explained everything in detail. What a pleasant surprise to see a doctor that is in the 21st century with a modern office, electronic records, computerized documentation, and even an email or text for my future appointments.. He is great.
