He’s very nice & caring doctor. I’ve seen him since 2017
. But overly booked and going to several different towns.???
It seems you’re short handed?? Is that the case? I like to know I can get my Dr. in most situations? Nurses assure me the nurse practitioners are very nice.. I have no doubt. But Cardiovascular issues are a little scary to me. I don’t mean to offend anyone. I just want to feel secure. Thank you..
