He is very kind and professional.
Dr. SLAPPEY and his PA, Cindy, are both incredibly gracious and professional. They take the time to make sure that you understand what your issues may be, explain all of your treatment options, and work with you to make the best decision for your treatment. They take the time to answer all of your questions, and to make sure you understand your condition, the prognosis, the treatment plan, and how to improve your condition.
He is so nice and show concern about his patients. I’m a repeat patient.
