Very good experience
This is a huge practice and I was a little overwhelmed upon arrival.

It all went smoothly, pleasantly and quickly and I will hopefully be able to continue seeing Dr. Cohen-levy.

Regarding one of the questions the Dr explained the X-ray and what he learned not the tech. Please change that question as the response answers don't reflect that possibility
