I was running late due to the fact that I live very far away. The traffic was horrible and I had to call and let them know. I was on my way. They were excellent giving me confidence I would be OK, and when I got to the office, they assured me that I was not too late. And they were pleasant, personable, and the kind of people I would hope would be at all desks of professionals. I do not find that all the time, and these girls were very personable and kind.

It being my first visit, I have only good things and no complaints about the location and the staff members I interacted with. Employees were kind and responsive to me and other patients, based on my observation. My assigned surgeon demonstrated professional work ethics, expert knowledge/understanding and attentive. Excellent experience! Looking forward to my surgery and recuperating state. God bless you all. Thank you for your dedicated service.
