From point of suspected cancer to confirmation and total excision, only two months passed, delayed only because of three national holidays. At every turn, I was met by confident, knowledgeable, and skilled staff. I am well today because of the concern for my overall physical & mental health.

I noted that the wait time was longer than 15 minutes. When I got to the office, I was immediately informed that the office was running a little behind schedule. Also, I have recommended this office and provider to a family member who is currently being treated by this provider.
