Have never had a good experience at this office. Staff is blatantly rude and makes you feel very uncomfortable. Needed to get chicken pox vaccine for grad school, they made me wait for an hour and then came out and informed me they forgot to order the vaccine and I would need to come back next week. Mind you, I had already taken three hours of sick leave from work to come here today. Every time my visit seems to get worse and worse, my wife and I have decided to leave their practice and find somewhere new.

David is first about medicine before money which is rare in today's general practice . Would highly recommend him for his acute skills and rare follow up.

Recently diagnosed a pain before any of the specialists. Always explains what is going on and I never feel rushed. His staff is very nice.
