Dr. Tummings kept me waiting, but she spent quite a bit of time getting a thorough health history and exam so I can forgive the wait time because I know she gave the same attention to other patients. Her staff is very nice, too. They all work well together, like a well-oiled machine. It is a shame that ZocDoc raised the cost of subscribing because now others won’t be able to access her. I feel lucky to have found her before she came off your site.
