    Very happy and satisfied

  • March 3, 2023

    Did have to wait over a hour to get seen because the front desk didn’t fully check me in I’m guessing but dr and nurse was great.

  • February 21, 2023

    This was a last minute appointment and everyone was very helpful.

    Dr Horton was great, as always, but I was also especially happy with the x-ray person. She gave my child warm and clear directions and then invited him to view the X-ray images. I always appreciate it when the staff involves my children in their care rather than just speaking to me as the parent.
