“the staff was helpful and professional. They were able to address all of my concerns. It was an excellent appointment despite wait times exceeding 1 hour. I am extremely light sensitive and go years between doctor's visits because I have had poor experiences but this was a good appointment.”

“Dr. Shannon Leon was VERY kind, informative, and explained everything in great detail! The wait time was to be expected, only because it is a very large office with many patients, (Which is a good sign) but there are also 7 Doctors on staff, so even with a larger crowd waiting, the flow of patients being attended to was very efficient! And also the staff are great and friendly as well.
Would Highly recommend!”

Took quite some time to be called back and then the steps seemed to go fairly effeciently. Dr Leon gave me as much time as I needed. Arrived at 1:50 for a 2:00 appointment. Left the office at 4:10.
