Great doc, very kind and caring. Set me up quickly to get my allergy shots. Staff is fantastic! Melissa always gets me checked in for a shot quickly and I’ve never had a bad experience with any of their nurses

Poor experience, some of the tests preformed not needed or explained. When I left, I was no better off than when I went in. No one explained that the cost would be $1200. I would not have gotten them had I known up front. Explanations given were confusing to say the least.
