Apr 06, 2019
Fantastic doctor, excellent practice. The practice got me in immediately to see the doctor and unlike some negative reviews I have read, I had a great experience. Of course, I am very familiar with my insurance and what is covered and what I have to pay out of pocket, therefore, no need for ANYONE to get angry at the doctor or staff for doing their jobs. Just happy to find actual physicians (not PA or NP) who are still in private practice.
