Everyone in the office is amazing. They fit me the doctors schedule for same day appointment. Doctor explained everything well and helped me with my sinus issue. Went out of their way to make me comfortable. They allowed my spouse to be in the examination room which helped me relax. Highly recommend the doctor and his staff.
