Great Doctor. Takes his time and lets you know upfront what is expected. Went over each medication and why before prescribing.

You have a secretary that works in the office that is HORRIBLE! Makes me want to look for another specialist. She has horrible customer service skills. I thought maybe she was sick and had to come to work, but I discussed the secretary's behavior with a worker at the office and was told the secretary's behavior is like that everyday.
