October 2024

Dr Clifton was very thorough and I really liked that we had a mutual respect and understanding of a "let's cut to the chase" type of communication. He started to "lay out the options" and I stopped him and I was just like... Ok doc throw away the handbook... What are we looking at here? And he got right down to it! And that made my visit so much easier! I love a no-nonsense doctor!
