With the exception of the older woman at the front desk, who barely greeted people, avoided eye contact, and did not come across as very friendly, every single person I encountered, including the younger woman at the front desk, was incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment I was called back, each staff member helped put me at ease and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. I wish I remembered everyone’s names because they truly deserve recognition for their professionalism, compassion, and care. Most especially the woman nurse who took me back and prepared me for the procedure she was so kind and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Valerio was equally kind and put me at ease with the time he took to explain things. I also appreciate his efforts to distract me with conversation while an IV was being placed in my arm. He was excellent at explaining everything clearly. It was evident through the staff’s interactions with one another that they genuinely care about their patients. I would recommend this place 110%. Aside from the incredibly unpleasant prep, when I need to have another procedure done, I look forward to having it here with these same great people.

All Staff and Dr Atkinson are great. Everything explained and showed concern before and after my procedure. Only complaint is the reception area was overly warm with the gaggable stench of bad breath thick on the air. Then on the prep room you are wrapped in refrigerator chill. Ingredients for a cold or other illness. However, this is the "go to" place.
