The office staff were thorough and pleasant. Dr. Stokes assistant and back office staff were attentive and informed when asked a question. Dr. Stokes was attentive and listened thoroughly as well as explained the reason of any further tests needed. Checking out and future appointments to be made was simple and accommodated my schedule nicely. I would recommend Dr. Stokes and staff to my family and friends without hesitation.
