Wait was 30 minutes to be called back. The office has several doctors, but he was the only doctor the receptionist told me was "running behind" because several other patients were called back before me - some who arrived AFTER I did.
When he finally did see me (thought I could have fractured a bone in my thumb and couldn't bend it), he walked in and saw my thumb and immediately said I needed a cortisone shot - without even touching my thumb yet or asking for an x-ray! I had to request and x-ray! Will never see him again.

Being going to Dr. Brett for a long time with various issues and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. He is personably and you are treated as a patient not a number.
