Patient Comments
I liked that he took time to listen to my concerns and gave me suggestions and wants to have tests to see how things are going.
My Dr showed great concern. For my health. He prescribed lab tests also a x-ray. The convenience of having those procedures preformed immediately! After the appointment. Is very considerate.
My Dr. Is very knowledgeable, professional and helpful to all my needs.
