I made my appt to see the doctor however i was never told i was going to be seeng the Physician Assistant. When the person came in to the room they just stated their name and not title . I found out later when it was time to checkout that i didn't aee the doctor. I give a 5 star simply because the PA was very informative and had a great personality. The star goes to the Physician Assistnt .

Dr. Hess was very thorough in evaluating the problem with my left hand. He took the time to explain my condition, answer all of my questions, and discuss the treatment options and next steps. His assistant, Tony, was also very helpful and professional. They both made me feel comfortable and well-informed throughout my appointment. I truly appreciate the excellent care they provided.
