Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

My visit was for a yearly checkup. Everyone was polite and seemed competent. The wait was a bit long, but I'd rather that than be hurried through and miss something important. There was plenty of time to answer my concerns.
