I thought the doctor was gratious, knowledgeable, made me feel at ease, and was friendly- not intimidating…
The staff was also terrific. I went away knowing he could help me.
Thankyou for a very good first visit.

He didn’t wash hands/use hand sanitizer/put on gloves. That felt a little unprofessional
