Wonderful doctor! Patient and understanding.
Thank you Dr. Messer and staff for a wonderful visit today. Very professional and attentive to the issues I was experiencing. Explained everything in detailed and offered an effective treatment plan.
Extremely thorough and forward looking in care options. His consistent being on time and schedule over the past few months in an often hectic medical field is remarkable. I actually did not wait beyond 3 minutes for an appointment with him or PT. As a CEO, I greatly value the commodity of time
Superb service as always.
Both of us like, respect, & have confidence in Dr. Messer. He is very competent & knowledgeable in his field & has always been caring & gentle when treating us.
