WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
“I was very pleased with the cordial atmosphere and promptness of my operation. Everything was well explained before any procedures were performed. Thanks for making me feel comfortable during my visit”
“Courteous and friendly office staff who were willing to fit me in due to a concern about a suspicious mole. It turned out to be a minor skin growth but no one but made me feel awkward about wanting to be seen quickly. I appreciate that.”
“I have been seen by several doctors here because of recurring squamous cell carcinomas and each doctor, nurse and office staff I have interacted with has been patient, compassionate, kind and professional on every occasion. I am pleased that the doctors take adequate time with me to explain what I need to know.”
“My mom had cancerous growth removed from her arm. The staff was very efficient and friendly throughout the process. It isn’t normal at most doctors offices for someone to greet you unless they are taking care of you. We were spoken to more than once by others in the office A very nice experience for a scary situation.”
“Always find this practice to be beyond friendly. They are professional and always make you feel comfortable.”
