      I think the lady that checked me in , and scheduled my appointment was so pleasant and helpful. She was very sweet and if everyone was like her things would be so much nicer

      First experience with this office and they did a great job getting me in quickly as well, when I arrived it was only a minute or 2 before going back and less than 5 minutes wait to see the doctor, it was really telling and caring too.
