Dr. Kasperwiecz on time. Friendly, was able to diagnose my insect bite right away. Came up with medication right away. I was a little nervous that it might be some pulled over from my cancer possibility on my arm a few years ago. But I felt much better after his diagnosis I will keep him updated and again very appreciative of this professional young man
