The staff is really nice and polite. Doctor was fantastic! What I loved the most is they didn’t make me wait, they called me immediately to tell me my results and gave me all the information I needed to be calm. I highly recommend!

This lady is the rudest woman in the world. Not interested at all in helping me. Focused only one one thing, and not why I came for help. While being so rude to me, she left the door open to let every passer by know what she said to me. I literally left her office in tears! So much PTSD from her, all this time later I still have got no help. Just cause you’re a doctor, does not give you the right to disrespect and dehumanize someone. Lady, you’re not helping anyone! By the way, everything she said to me was proved wrong by testing.
