Very pleased with the time I got scheduled for an appointment. It was not a lengthy wait. I could see the doctor within just a few days. Everyone was very pleasant. The doctor really took the time to explain and they did x-rays and he checked me better than anyone I've had in several years. So, I definitely was very pleased with my appointment and the doctor and everyone. Thank you very much.
