My office visit was about as good as a Dr. Appointment could be. Every nurse and front desk clerks were kind and caring. Nice change to see them always smiling. Dr Heis was also kind and interested in what was hurting me. Knew just what to do, and no knee surgery for me?? Thanx to all of yours Laurie Morris
