Chad is very good. Really knows his business. I was impressed on his prescription that he ordered for me and the details he went into when I asked about. It wasn’t take 2 aspirin and see me in the morning kind of Dr. He offered a lot of comments throughout my visits that I really appreciate and found helpful. I got a lot more out of my appointment than with most Dr
Very friendly, comforting and knowledgeable manner.
Great people to work with.
