I was very pleased with my experience. Dr. Horta explained my condition to me in a way that I could understand and she took the time to explain it as where no other doctor that I have seen up to this point has done that. I feel very blessed to have Dr. Horta and her team taking over my care, God gives us what we need when we need it, and He knew I needed this care team. I praise God for giving me y'all and I thank y'all for being so kind and caring like y'all are there for just me when I know y'all have 1000s of more patients every day but that's not how y'all make each person feel. And everyone is always so kind and caring and compassionate and courteous. From the bottom of my heart I thank y'all and my family thanks y'all I am truly grateful for y'all.

Well when we got to the clinic to check in the person at the desk told us to go to a waiting area,and come to find out we were on the wrong floor and she should have known that but the nurse called us and told us to come to the right place.
