I was pleased with the efficiency and pleasant office, from reception to departure. I was seen within minutes of my arrival, first by a PA and then by the doctor and her nurse who made the appointment move right along ~ she recorded what Doctor was saying, took photos of the sites evaluated, before and after surgical procedure. The receptionist is also very pleasant and efficient.
