Dr. Grotefendt and Nurse Merlene went out of their way to take care of me this week. I was there for a 6 month checkup. While in the exam room, my blood glucose dropped extremely low. They reacted professionally, but quickly, solved my problem. I have seen them for many years, now I know I will be around for many more.
