This is the one clinic I actually enjoy coming to. Dr is so thorough, listens very well and has been a God send to me. She discovered illnesses I have had for a while that no other doctors even took time to check for. They just wanted me to try all sorts of pills for a problem that they didn't even know what it was/is. I couldn't be happier with Dr. KOCERK. Please recognize her as one if your top doctors.
