Office staff very friendly, Dr Posner not so much. He is probably a very knowledgeable Dr but bedside manner is important too. I did most of the talking and asking questions where I would have thought he would have been more informative and alleviating my concerns.

Dr. Posner is very unique and put me at easy right away. In a little over two weeks he told me what it was; wanted me to see Katlin in Dr Allen is on vacation. But she did not waste time she set me for surgery for August 4th. Put me at ease and sure it will be in. Thank you Dr Posner.
