  • Everyone was great. I saw Dr. [redacted], Dr. Shin, their fellow (I don't recall his name), and a nurse. They were running about an hour late but took as much time with me as I needed which was worth the wait. They were very professional and explained everything in detail and took time to answer all my (and my wife's) questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
