    Amazing staff, very friendly and efficient. The CRNP was amazing, actually listened and was able to pretty much diagnose me, I had a procedure the following morning which proved his diagnosis right. Also amazing bed side manner.

    I saw a nurse practitioner instead of the physician. The nurse, however, saw me 30 minutes early.

    Richard Ketcham, the CRNP I saw, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He asked many detailed questions, including quite a few that had never been asked by a previous provider about the same issues. I left the appointment confident that we are on the right track.
