Doctor and staff were friendly and efficient. I was seen on time, no waiting. The doctor was punctual and very efficient. I will go back to him again. The only negative was the parking situation - all parking spots were filled and lots of cars parked on the adjacent street. There is another office in the same building which may have been the problem because he doctor's office was not crowded so it wasn't his patients cars.
