I was lucky enough, that I got in right away due to a cancelation. That ENT DOCTOR was a very nice person. Impressed that she dug out a little ear wax herself ,instead of letting nurse do it. Pain free. Asked questions about my sinuses/ she answered promptly.

She went above and beyond the purpose of the appointment. Sent referrals for me, followed up on them. And addressed a problem I was having, and a procedure was scheduled with another physician, a procedure was scheduled for the next business day to check out a problem with my esophagus. She is a fantastic, caring physician. That is rare these days. Thank you for having her in this facility.
