The Dr. Explained every thing very well and put me at ease.
Wait time was way too long. Didn't see doctor until 50mins after my scheduled time.
Great team, from check-in to scheduling, keep up the good work!
Dr. T delivered amazing care and I am happy to be under his care. The doctor really listened to me and helped me with my problem. Great doctor!
I really liked the Dr made me feel comfortable being it was my first appointment with him
It's usually quite a wait past appointment schedule time to see the doctor. I've had unanswered questions remaining before my time with doctor ran out. They were addressed at next visit. Overall he is very knowledgeable and answers questions thoroughly and would recommend to others as aforementioned concerns are largely minor quibbles.
Good
Dr. T is the quintessential physician with excellent communication and patient services skills.If only other healthcare providers could match his expertise in dealing with patients.A young man named Brandon was quite helpful and accommodating.The gentleman who scheduled our fill-up appointment did us well, also.
Much satisfied.

Everything was excellent
I was supposed to get some prescription for pre surgery. My pharmacy never got anything from Dr office. So what do I do now
Very easy to talk to. Willing to chat and not feel "hurried".
Dr. T is the best. He spent time talking with my wife and I about our care and medical concerns. He is a great advocate for his patients. Dr. T paid attention and addressed any concerns we had. He makes our journey with infertility easier knowing he has our best interests at heart.
