I usually don't rate higher than four stars for medical because realistically medical can be messy between billing and insurance and pharmacy communication. The reason I did five stars is because this is a rare facility that LISTENS. I could rave that pretty much everyone I know goes here and has been helped, but the one that is most meaningful is my daughter. She suddenly changed and it was confusing. Apathetic about school and severely depressed. There was something preventing her from being herself. Instead of just giving her anti-depressants I asked him to do testing just in case it was

Recently I came down with a virus that was going around my office and it turned into a severe case of bronchitis. Being sick kicked up the fatigue issues that had been under control with the Protea Vitamin shots I've been getting. Dr Warren recommended trying the Vitamin IV (instead of the shot)and I felt like a wilted plant coming back to life. I would have missed many more days from work without Protea's help. The staff is professional and caring. They remember your
