It was the first time I had met with Dr. Nugent after several visits with the assistant. He explained thoroughly what the MRI showed of the shoulder injury. Very personable and offered recommendations that worked with my schedule.

I was impressed with the appointment completely. From the moment I walked in the building and how well it was organized. I really appreciated. The front help was professional and patient and kind. It was a very busy day, but it did not seem like that in the back. It seemed quiet and professional. More of a hospital setting than a clinic. I did not wait long for Dr. Nugent and was taken care of from start to finish. Very pleased.
