Very professional and courteous
Broke a bone in my ankle. Calleds the next day, after going to ER. Appointment was a day later. Great routine and very organized and efficient. X-rays first. Excellent encounter then intake technician was next very thorough, professional and efficient. Dr. Daniel took enough time to explain things to me and show me where the fracture was. Put a boot on and the boot person was excellent and efficient. Left the office with a surgery date five days later. It can’t get any more professional, courteous. compassionate, efficient and timely than that. There is nothing more that a person can ask of health professionals. Thank you thank you thank you.
