I recently visited this office for leg pain, and I had a great experience. I was acknowledged and the staff were very professional and friendly. The office was very clean and welcoming. I was called in promptly, and the nurses explained the procedure and asked questions. The nurses and doctor took time to listen to my concerns and explained everything clearly. I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the visit. Overall, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend this office to others.

Dr. Draughn was the problem solver for the vein issues I had put off seeking help for, for years. His entire staff is so efficient and professional. No more achy legs and throbbing swollen veins for me! I’ve graduated! My sincere thanks!
