Even just walking in the door, you can tell this place is different from most offices. The people are SO friendly and knowledgeable. My appointment was with Dr. Frederico who was very easy to talk to. The appointment was quick while still being thorough. One of the nurses even talked with me to make sure I wasn’t overbilled!! If you’re not using this place for your health needs, you should try it out!
