Review for Dr. Masannat

There were several tests required prior to seeing Dr. Mason. Everyone was personable and efficient, with little wait time between each test. Dr. Mason was very thorough with the tests he completed and explained the results thoroughly.

Review for Dr. Mason

His office is run very efficiently. He comes in having reviewed the tests administered in the office, and then does his own review. The waits are short. He allows time for questions after his exam. I have been a patient of his for more than 20 years.
