EXCELLENT. I arrived and was immediately taken back to exam room. This Doctor is professional, listens to the problem, explains the issue and will make suggestions. His bed-side manor is considered excellent. WHEN the times comes, I will use his services again. BTW- The staff were also excellent, knowledgeable, professional and companionate. Highly recommended by me. Great communication by Doctor and Staff too.
