I appreciated the thoroughness of Dr. Kanaan and her residency, [NAME] during my consultation. Anxiety, that I had concerning my condition, was dissipated.

I understand the need and concern of wearing masks but I have a lot of pressure in my face and the front desk at the entrance had me change my mask because the one I had on wasn't tight enough around my nose which caused a lot of discomfort. Other than that I had a pleasant experience.
