Two years with them and Alpine and all their staff are great. Always there for me - and promptly, amiable, and competent. A no-appointment walk-in has never been a problem for them and wait times, if any, have never been too long. Their patient communications are understandable. Billings (Medicare) are handled without any burden on myself. Not only do they really care, but it shows. I'd go 6 stars if that was an option.
