I had a great experience. Very little wait time, and the doctor took time to listen and explain the diagnosis thoroughly.

I prefer a physician who will help me understand my condition, talk to me about the prognosis and treatment options. Dr. Bleckner spent no more than 3 minutes with me and that including 2.5 minutes draining my knee. I felt so humiliated and insignificant when he says a few words and bolts out of the room. A friend of mine had the same experience so I changed physician's. The front desk staff is great.
