Coming into the office I was impressed with the decor, the waiting room is very cozy and accommodating. They also offer refreshments. I was greeted with a smile and promptly checked in. Every step of the appointment was professionShow moreal and everything was explained thoroughly. I really liked that I was able to ask questions and get clear feedback on what was best for me. It’s important to feel heard by your doctors/nurses/care technicians and this first visit was an indication that I am in great hands.
Kara and her team at the Decatur Howard Center are incredible! From the moment you walk in, everyone is super friendly and makes you feel like you’re walking in the doors of a friend’s house. The doctors and staff really take theiShow morer time, explaining everything and making sure you understand all your options. You can tell they genuinely care. I couldn’t recommend Kara, her team, and this location enough!
