Maria M. • October 03, 2026

Wonderful staff, thorough information from kind doctor—only complaint is the waiting time. Too many patients are booked at same time or too close to one another causing a backlog. Tests and examination take approximately 30-45 minutes but the time in the office is over an hour so an 9am appt has you leaving at 10:30.
