This was my first visit to the doctors office. I had an emergency visit at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena .I was referred to the Doctor, after receiving treatment at the ER. Upon entering the office, the staff was very nice. I was sent my paperwork ahead of time , so I had all that filled out ahead of time. The doctor went over my emergency visits and areas of concern and provided me follow up appointments that were necessary I had a nice experience here, the doctor was very knowledgeable, informative and put me at ease.
