The appointment scheduled did not leave me waiting in the waiting room. My time is valuable and I appreciate the promptness of care provided according to the appointment that was scheduled. I was greeted warmly and given assistance by the front desk clerk with how to get my information into the required paperless system, of which I am unfamiliar with. The entire medical staff was friendly, helpful, patient and informative pertaining to my questions and guided me throughout my experience. The phlebotomist, and medical assistant both focused on making sure I knew and understood my role in the procedures, (I.e., walking to the bathroom and showing instructions and location of items I needed) while explaining and/or informing me of what they were doing to ensure my healthcare was being treated appropriately based on my personal care. Heather was friendly and thorough in asking and answering medically related questions about my health. Her advice was genuine and never pushy. She was remarkable as a care professional. Thank you to the entire staff for making my first visit feel like a visit with family, as If I've been going there for years. I will definitely recommend this care provider!

This is the third provider I have been to and she listened and actually heard me. I was prescribed some drops and within days my issue was resolved. This has been going on for a year and it was like trying to tell people I saw a flying saucer with Martians, no one believed me and or thought I was incorrect in my own assessment. Thank you for listening.
