Unfortunately, his office staff messed up the confirmation big time, I was speaking with them right before i got in the car to go there, and when i showed up they canceled my appointment because they didn’t call back in 2mins to verify a doctors #. It was unprofessional and rude, but the next day my appointment went great, even though, again i was told last minute to hop in the car to show up early to fill out more paper work than i already had done at home. He was worth the wait though as he provided excellence and understanding of a difficult situation my pain had left me in, and he offered help that was really useful, where many other Doctors just kicked me out the door. I truly appreciate the capability he Shows. Its unmatched in his field to my experience.
