- 5.0Sep 7, 2024Very good experience, everyone great!
- 3.3Sep 5, 2024My appointment was for 7am and I was told to show up at 6:45am. However the doctor and nurse did not arrive at the office until 7:15 and I finally saw the doctor at 7:25am. Also, the doctor put me back on a prescription drug that she knows makes me feel nauseous and ill, but did not want to consider alternatives for now. She did take the time to answer all my questions.
- Sep 5, 2024I could not test the sound or video before the presentation. However, it did work perfectly.
