Extremely pleased with Dr. Jackson however, the new Office under the new company is very disheartening. Too many people crammed into a waiting room, appointments are off, the wait it’s too long, the staff is rotating. It makes you feel as though you’re just the number in spite of how hard the doctor tries to make, you feel comfortable then environment is not conducive.
