The Dr listened to my concerns, examined me and ordered appropriate tests, which were performed at the facility. He was very easy to talk to, and explained my diagnosis and next steps clearly. He also thought ahead to send my prescription orders to a pharmacy that would be open at night (since my regular pharmacy wouldn’t be open till the next morning.). That way I could start my medication right away.
