“From the moment I walked in, I was greeted and checked in. I was called in-in a timely fashion. The doctor came in, and he was very helpful. Ordered x-rays and that was done in a hurry. We went over the x-rays, and he let me look at them. Made me understand precisely what is going on. I felt like the office was run like a well-oiled machine. I hated going to the doctor and avoided at all cost, so this made it more comfortable. It didn’t feel like the practice was overbooked, I did not feel rushed. The doctor listened to me.”
