Ms Edna always makes sure everything I need done gets taken care of. Both doctors are straight to the point and make sure you are in and out in no time. While that may sometimes make the visit a little rushed, there is always the portal I can use to ask any questions I might have missed during the visit. Great practice and I recommend when they are able to except new patients.
