Patient Reviews

"First visit. Comfortable atmosphere. Staff friendly. Called in almost immediately. Intake of all vital info and blood-work was fast. Dr Vivek very nice. Talked a bit and I felt heard. I go back in 2 weeks when she's looked at all my prior X-rays and records and the results of blood-work they took for me. My impression is that I am in good hands☺️"
