I waited a long time for an appointment. But that's okay because we got it all done in 30 minutes efficiently, effectively and compassionate. It was painful but okay and I have all answers without having to go a hundred places. Dr explained everything to me before and during the procedure. Great staff, great place, excellent doctor. Thank you.
