I started off at the wrong location and everyone i spoke to about still seeing the doctor today was amazing. It took me 30 minutes to get to the right location but they saw me within 10 minutes. The resident i saw was terrific as was the doctor. I think the steroid shot was the right solution to my issue, i only wish i had made an appt with Dr. Creighton a onth ago.
Very professional answered all my questions a good listener very happy 😊
