First time meeting Dr. Symons and his staff and I was very pleased. The receptionist and the nurse were so lovely and accommodating. The wait time for the Doctor was so fast that i did not have time to complete the paperwork until after the appointment.
The Doctor was friendly and professional and i liked his" bedside manner"!
When I left, the nurse called within 20 minutes and had scheduled my ultra sound appointment for the next day!
