Bottom line, they didn’t see me in time… they saw me EARLIER than my scheduled appointment… everybody I dealt with (receptionist, RN, and Dr. Ryder) was professional and personable — a rare combination. They definitely earned my 5- star rating.

Was originally scheduled to see a nurse, but an appointment opened up with the Dr. that afternoon so I opted for that. Glad I did.
