The receptionist are very courteous, helpful and polite. Although that could not be said of those in the past, Dr. Freeman is/has always been a great doctor. He asks questions and listens well. He works diligently with you to find the best solutions for you.

Do not waste your time here until there are new front desk people. The doctor is great, but the front desk people are completely useless and incredibly rude!
