    Services were excellent. Wait time for an appointment was initially 10 months. My follow-up should have been 3 to 4 months but the soonest I can be seen is 7 months out. That is an extremely long wait time for patients dealing with an issue.

    The doctor was helpful and didn't speak down to me like a lot of other providers have in the past. The front desk staff missed lunch because of the patient load. They should be able to step away to have a break in the middle of the day and take a moment to recharge. Dealing with the public is hard work that should be rewarded!
