“Pleased”

From check in to check out, the entire staff was pleasant. The office was very clean and organized. The flow through the appointment experience was painless. I was very pleased with all staff. The tech explained the entire process, as did Dr. Schechet. Doing this allowed me to feel more comfortable and less nervous. I can’t say enough positive things about the office and will certainly return.

“very intense and thorough”

I did not expect such a extensive and overall thorough examination. He was right in sending me to the emergency ward right away. I thank him for that.
